Spiritual Counseling & Christian Coaching

"Spiritual direction (and Spiritual Counseling) is, in reality, 

nothing more than a way of leading (coaching) us

to see and obey the real Director — the Holy Spirit 

hidden in the depths of our soul."

                                             Thomas Merton, Trappist monk, USA
