SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

A Spiritual Director (sometimes called a 'Soul Friend' or 'Spiritual Accompanier') is one who, through their particular gifts and training, has developed certain skills to help individuals explore a deeper relationship with themselves and that which lies beyond - the Other.

Anyone in ministry - priests, clergy and Spiritual Directors - needs to consider how their work is supervised.  The scope of Supervision is wide covering awareness of God, growth in insight and professionalism (good practice), space to safely explore feelings and to find encouragement and support.
