Mark brings a wealth of life and Christian ministry experience to his role as Spiritual Director, including many years of communicating Christian spirituality in the context of religious education in government
(and non-government) schools through theatre and story-telling. More recently, he has spent a number of years living and working in a remote Aboriginal community in the western desert region, and living with his
wife as house parents in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program at Tumbelin Farm in the Adelaide Hills. He has a long-term interest in contemplative prayer practices, and is extremely interested
in the ways in which human beings experience God as active and meaningful in their lives.
As a practice of pausing to pay attention, spiritual direction can be very fruitful. It is a sacred space in which we are invited, in the company of another, to purposefully stop and notice God’s activity. And as we do, to deepen our sense of God who with us in the midst of all the present realities of our own unique existence.
Mark graduated from the Spiritual Direction formation program at Tabor College, Adelaide with a Diploma of Theology. He draws a lot of inspiration from Ignatian spirituality and has been formed as a Giver of
the full Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. He is a member of the Ecumenical Spiritual Directors Association of SA and the Australian Network of Spiritual Directors.

As a graduate of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer clients an extensive theoretical knowledge of Counselling
and Psychology, along with practical experience in supporting young Indigenous children in residential support, family
carers and school chaplaincy. I furthered my education in Philosophy and Family History. Previous roles were held with Carers SA, Schools Ministry Group and Carers and Disability Link. These organisations offered opportunities
in Family Carer Advocacy, supporting young people in school, practical support and advocacy with NDIS Disability clients of all ages. I was privileged to engage with positive connections of State and Federal Government
to advocate for young people.
Using a Person-Centred approach, I invite clients to share their stories and collaborate with me to reveal what the presenting issues are. I trained in Trauma-Informed and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well
as Systemic Family Therapy used in Couples Counselling. Mindful of the significance of links between childhood trauma and its effect on the here and now, I partner with my clients to explore the most effective
approach to promote clarity and find holistic ways for positive change.
I have a keen interest in Personality Psychology and a Strengths-based approach. Utilising these interventions in the counselling space creates opportunities for clients to discover their “inner self” and may assist
in creating positive change, enhance relationship issues and clarity around personal motivation and responses in everyday life. Supporting young people in a public-school setting, I am discovering a theme
of fractured relationships in families, that is contributing to young people’s daily stress. Working with families to assist with open communication and focusing on solutions is an area I am continuing to
expand in. My experience also includes coordinating services and supporting disability clients with NDIS plans and working alongside young people with NDIS funding in school and home settings.
