Spiritual
Direction...
Deborah is an
experienced Spiritual
Life
counsellor,
helping clients to sort out the big questions when they
feel "stuck" in their life. People in transition, who
aren't sure about next steps, or those who feel lost find
a session with Deborah most beneficial. Your Spirit knows
where you need to be and the answers are within --they
just need coaxing sometimes. A cup of tea and a chat with
Deb often does wonders!
"Speaking with
RevDeb has been a real gift. I've been to several
counsellors in my life, but her warmth and genuine
interest, coupled with her skill in leading me to
important understandings, have made my sessions with her
not only productive but extremely comfortable and
relaxing."
