John Heath

I have been a professional helper all my adult life, first as an Educational Psychologist, then as a Psychotherapist and more recently as an ordained Minister in the Interfaith tradition. I have been fortunate, in these changing roles, to work with people at all stages of life and from many different parts of the world. Experience has shown me that most of the troubles that people consult psychological practitioners about have their origins in life experience which has damaged their sense of love. This can show as a compromise in love for self, in love for others, or both. Such damage often stands in the way of our ultimate destiny which is to connect to and serve the purpose revealed by universal love for all humanity and for life itself.

This awareness of the centrality of love to the fulfilment of our individual and collective purpose has been the stimulus to my own quest for spiritual growth and is now the foundation of my ministry. Failure to connect with love shows up at every level of our lives. The earth itself is struggling for lack of our love. I believe, therefore, that it is now vital that we reconnect with love, for ourselves, for our communities and for our earth. If we each do what we can to live joyfully and with loving intent, we will make a difference in the world. No one can do this alone.

My spiritual allegiance is to the field of intelligent love from which we all sprang and on which we all depend. I do not belong to any particular religious system, though I constantly find resonance and inspiration in the wisdom to be found there. Promoting connection with universal love is what I seek to do and I am happy to draw on any inspiration which fits with that. As an Interfaith Minister I offer spiritual accompaniment for individuals, couples and groups, help in designing and delivering ceremony, ritual and celebration around key rites of passge and the facilitation of discussion, skill building and consciousness raising in experiential workshops and training events.

If you think I can be helpful to you in connecting or reconnecting with your own spiritual self, or in just talking through the possibilities, please be in touch.
