Carol’s work has been described as ‘spiritual counselling’. And yet, the techniques used are very much grounded in the here and now. Together, without judgment, we explore exactly what is holding you back or causing you difficulties and trace the current situation to its hidden dynamic. From such exploration new life-giving possibilities emerge and a greater connection with your spiritual nature. Above all you tap into the inner resources that have always been available to you.
