Hello! Welcome to this website. My name is Delphi and I’m a qualified counsellor, trauma informed educator and author, specialising in spiritual health.
Whatever your reason for being here, I appreciate you visiting. Below are a series of options to help you decide which page might suit you best.
⚠️ Please note this website makes reference to male violence against women, including domestic abuse.
I have helped people unpack and explore their dreams for more than 20 years, with several appearances as a “Dream Expert” on TV and Radio, as well as in 1-1 and in a group setting. You can read more about my media appearances here.
Spiritual Health
As I describe in my book Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal, I was raised in a spiritualist household where we talked about dreams around the breakfast table, so it’s been natural for me to include and welcome these discussions in my professional life.
My work today is influenced by humanistic thinkers like Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow and others of their era. I value and appreciate the pacifist values held by Quakers, have an interest in paganism and feminist theology (thealogy), alongside Buddhist philosophy and researched insights on spiritual intelligence. This creates dialogue focused on spiritual health that helps people recognise the value of meaning, authenticity, self-awareness, spirituality, compassionate social action and transcendence as keys to well-being. Not only can we achieve what Maslow described (in Toward a Psychology of Being) as “full-humanness”, but recognise that our potential can be limitless.
I include in this work the dimension of spiritual health as a mechanism for healing, recognising how difficulty – and wisdom – can show up in our dreams and sleep. My media appearances include BBC radio and ITV’s ‘Loose Women’. I am the author of Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal.
Women’s Health
The content on this website makes reference to women who have navigated difficult life experiences, including domestic abuse. This is following decades of skills, training and experiences of working with, and supporting, a mainly female audience. This doesn’t ignore that men and non-binary people experience difficulty, and in these cases the content may still be useful.
All visitors to this website are encouraged to decide what choices are most healthy for them. I’ve included a list of links that may be useful if you are affected by any of the topics discussed; this website does not intend to replace nor can provide any medical or legal advice. Please read these policies for terms of use.
In an emergency, in the UK call 999 – if you cannot speak you could try pressing 55 and, if possible, please wait for what the operator has to say next. To report a non-urgent incident, you can call the police on 101. You can also call the domestic abuse helpline on 0808 2000 247 or Samaritans who are available 24/7 on 116 123.
Delphi is just the tonic we needed. Someone who knows their subject thoroughly but who is as down to earth as can be. She feels like one of us. Delphi doesn’t bring a lecture. She brings an intimate experience full of respect and understanding. She gives space for all to contribute and demonstrates that she is listening. She has clearly worked with a lot of people who have suffered.
– Frank Mullane, AAFDA (Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse).
Working Together
I have now retired from private counselling work, after more than two decades of supporting people 1-1, helping them ‘find their mojo’ and ‘get their sparkle back’. However, I am available for PR, speaking events, panel discussions and teaching workshops where my availability allows. If you’d like to discuss, you can get in touch here.
