Spiritual Direction with

Sarah Mitchell

A quiet space to listen for God together

Spiritual direction offers a confidential, prayerful space to notice God’s presence in your everyday life. Together, we slow down, listen deeply, and pay attention to where God may already be at work in you.

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is a reflective conversation focused on your relationship with God. It is a place to speak honestly, listen prayerfully, and discern how the Spirit may be moving in your life.

Spiritual direction is:


  • A sacred, confidential space
  • Rooted in prayer and attentive listening
  • Focused on God’s presence rather than problem-solving


Spiritual direction is not counselling, therapy, or advice-giving. While emotional and personal experiences may be shared, the focus remains on spiritual awareness and discernment.

Who is Spiritual Direction For?

Spiritual direction may be helpful if you are:

  • In a season of transition or discernment
  • Feeling spiritually dry, restless, or uncertain
  • Seeking deeper awareness of God in daily life
  • Carrying leadership or caregiving responsibilities
  • Longing for a quieter, more attentive spiritual rhythm


You do not need to have the right words or clear answers. You are welcome just as you are.

About Sarah

I am a trained and certified spiritual director passionate about companioning others as they grow in intimacy with God. I completed a recognized spiritual direction formation program and participate in ongoing supervision and professional development. My own journey with a spiritual director shapes how I listen and serve.

I draw from a variety of spiritual practices — quiet prayer, scripture reflection, gospel contemplation, and listening prayer — to support your journey. I am committed to ethical practice, confidentiality, and creating a safe, grounded space for you.

FAQ

Got another question? Want more information about our services?

    Is this the same as counselling or therapy?

No. Spiritual direction focuses on spiritual awareness and discernment. If counselling or therapy would be more appropriate, I can help with referrals.

    What if I don’t know how to pray?

That is completely okay. Prayer in spiritual direction is simple and gentle. There is no pressure to perform or use certain words.

   Do I need to be a Christian?

Spiritual direction is rooted in Christian tradition, but you do not need to have a strong faith background to participate. Curiosity and openness are enough.

    How is this different from talking to a pastor or mentor?

Spiritual direction is less about guidance or instruction and more about listening together for God’s presence in your life.
