Hello and thank you for visiting my website.

I am a qualified counsellor, trauma-informed educator and women’s peace advocate, who specialises in spiritual health. I have now retired from 1-1 counselling and dream work, after more than 20 years of helping people find their mojo and get their sparkle back.

I still provide training and workshops on a variety of topics, including bereavement, mindfulness and “soul work”, when my schedule allows. I teach based on a model that promotes safety, consent and transformation through compassionate curiosity – “voice and choice”. I believe human potential is limitless.

My conversations are influenced by humanistic thinkers like Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow and others of their era, along with researched insights on spiritual intelligence.

In my spare time, I raise awareness of a cause close to my heart, having spoken, worked with and supported women subjected to, and families bereaved by, male violence, including domestic abuse.

This work has included being an Independent Advisor to policing in an unpaid (by choice) capacity. To find out more about me, click here

As a pacifist, I encourage peaceful and purposeful living through nonviolent action, like assertive communication, as a catalyst for meaningful change. Pacifism naturally sits alongside wellbeing because it begins with inner peace.

I have a particular interest in how spiritual health intersects with feminist and peace theory. I value and appreciate pacifist values held by Quakers, appreciate traditions that show reverence for nature and respect the moral code offered by Buddhist philosophy.

Delphi is just the tonic we needed.  Someone who knows their subject thoroughly but who is as down to earth as can be. She feels like one of us. Delphi doesn’t bring a lecture.  She brings an intimate experience full of respect and understanding. She gives space for all to contribute and demonstrates that she is listening. She has clearly worked with a lot of people who have suffered.

For more than two decades, my therapeutic career incorporated dream work, with several appearances on TV and Radio, as well as in newspapers in magazines. You can read more about these here.

I have had the privilege of speaking with thousands of people, and worked professionally with hundreds of clients to help them unpack and explore what their dreams might mean.

I no longer provide 1-1 dream work, having now retired from counselling, however I have written a book on the topic: Answers in The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal.
