I have found working with Bruce very helpful in my formation and understanding of myself and how that intersects with my role. Bruce is experienced, insightful, unhurried and down to earth. I have learned more about who I am and my strengths and shadow sides through our supervision sessions. I would recommend Bruce as a professional supervisor and have encouraged others on my team to engage him in his role.

Bruce is a fantastic professional companion. He brings depth of widsom and insight from his years of experience as an educator, listener and learner. Bruce knows how to attend to the person then journeys with them according to ther needs. This journey is co-curated with great professionalism and care.

Pastoral supervision with Bruce has been timely for this season of my ministry. He has offered insights and observations that have enabled me to reflect on self, others and the Lord. I value his calm, laid back, thoughtful and intentional approach.

I have been connecting with Bruce once a month for the last two years. Bruce is an exceptionally gifted spiritual director and I am immensely grateful for the journey that we have been on together. Whilst spiritual direction is not therapeutic I had seen psychologists and counsellors leading up to seeing Bruce after a challenging few years. It's difficult to explain how different a person I am now from before I met Bruce. I have an amazing sense of contentment now and eagerly look forward to the adventure that God is taking us on.

Spiritual Companioning

Spiritual companioning - often called spiritual direction - is a quiet, regular and persistent ministry of one person listening another person’s story into speech, so that together they might discern and explore Sacred invitations in everyday life.  Bruce works with wherever you are at in your spiritual journey, whether that includes a rich, damaged or non-existent religious heritage.​ We deal with the real, rather than the ideal, and ponder how any discernments might be courageously embodied in daily living.

Professional Companioning

Professional companioning - often called professional supervision - holds much more value than just ticking a compliance box! Experience how Bruce’s ministry of professional companioning offers a hospitable space for you to do reflective practice upon your soul, role and context, so you can be your best self for the sake of others. Bruce's service is suited for practitioners and leaders in multiple settings, including ministry (e.g., churches, chaplaincy, cross-cultural work), schools (principals, teachers, support workers), tertiary education (lecturers, managers) and health (carers, medical professionals).
