Specialist Clinical Services for Clergy, Religious, and Ministry Professionals

Expert Psychological Support for Faith-Based Communities

With over six years of specialist experience as Coordinator of Clinical Services at the St Luke’s Centre in Manchester, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by Catholic clergy, religious communities, and candidates for ministry across the UK and Europe. My work has focused on promoting psychological wellbeing, human formation, and reflective leadership within faith-based settings.

 

Clinical Experience Supporting Mental Health in Religious Life

At the St Luke’s Centre, I held a broad leadership role, supporting clinical excellence and holistic care:

​

• Clinical Supervision & Mentorship – Guided and supported clinical staff in reflective, ethical, and best-practice care.

• Psychological Therapy & Assessment – Provided assessment and ongoing therapy to clergy, religious, school leaders, and seminarians.

• Service Coordination & Development – Triaged referrals, coordinated complex care pathways, and shaped clinical service delivery.

• Consultation & Training – Offered consultancy to commissioning clients and facilitated reflective groups, workshops, and leadership development.

• Seminary Teaching – Delivered formation teaching focused on psychological development and emotional maturity in preparation for ministry.

My Approach

With a compassionate, reflective, and grounded therapeutic style, I draw on integrative and relational approaches, underpinned by theological sensitivity and clinical expertise. I understand the complexities of vocation, boundaries, solitude, leadership, and spiritual struggle, and create a safe space for processing personal, professional, and pastoral challenges.
