Mark Wainwright

I am an Interfaith Minister, a Buddhist, an atheist, a Jew, and a member of a church choir. I have previously been, among other things, an editor, stonecutter, housing officer, English teacher, and crossword setter. Whatever your spiritual inclinations or lack of them, I will work with you as a spiritual counsellor or celebrant to hold a space where what is important to you is given room to matter.

SPIRITUAL COUNSELLING: Spiritual counselling is a safe and sacred space – which could be a virtual space created by video call – to be fully heard, held, and accepted. I aim to bring a luminous quality of listening to help explore whatever is on your mind. The subject matter need not be ostensibly ‘spiritual’: whatever comes up in a session is welcome.

SUPERVISION: Supervision helps you, as a minister or other practitioner, to be fully present – whether to clients, to the sacred or in the world at large. As a trainee supervisor, I’m currently offering supervision at a reduced rate.

CEREMONY: In a ceremony we consecrate, acknowledge, and celebrate or mourn, a change or a new direction. I can help create a ceremony that is right for you and hold space for your important occasion to unfold: a wedding or funeral, to welcome new life or new family, or perhaps some other significant threshold that you wish to mark – a move or new career for example, or a ceremony of coming out, of healing or forgiveness.
