One-to-One Compassionate Mentoring

Take a seat. Let’s begin.

Compassionate support for soulful living

Life can be messy, uncertain, or overwhelming — especially when you’re sensitive, soul-led, or simply trying to live in alignment with your values in a noisy world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, spiritually adrift, or simply longing for change, these mentoring sessions offer you a safe, grounded space to explore what really matters. A sanctuary - something we all need in these demanding times.

Who is this for?

These sessions are for people who:

Feel emotionally or spiritually disconnected and want to reconnect with themselves and with others
Are navigating life transitions, burnout, grief, or inner change
Feel anxious about climate change and want to live more authentically, soulfully, or in tune with nature
Are exploring spirituality, compassion, or contemplative practices
Long for a space to slow down, be heard, and be gently witnessed.

What happens in a Compassionate Mentoring session?

Every session is unique and tailored to your individual needs. The only formula is just mindful presence, deep listening, and gentle encouragement. Together, we might:

Reflect on where you are and what you’re facing
Explore stuck places with compassion and curiosity
Use mindfulness, breath, or body awareness to ground and support you or gentle enquiry to open up to new insights
Touch into the deeper values or longings beneath your questions

This is not therapy. It’s not coaching with action plans and deadlines (although we can work with action plans and targets, if that is what you would like to do). It’s a contemplative, heart-centred process rooted in kindness, clarity, and connection.

Your Mentor

Writer, mentor, and spiritual ecologist based in the north west of England, Chris holds a degree in English Literature and an MA Ecology and Spirituality. Her research explored how Tibetan Buddhist compassion practice might be relevant to the challenges of the environmental crisis. After spending several years working at a Buddhist centre and training as a counsellor, she went on to work with vulnerable people of all ages - work she has been involved with now for more than thirty years. Her work draws on compassion-based approaches to help people cultivate resilience, connection, and meaning during difficult times in their lives. With her background in mindfulness teaching and Buddhism, Chris brings a grounded, heartful presence to everything she offers. She brings warmth, humour, and a deep respect for the inner life and knows what it’s like to live with chronic illness and personal challenge.

There’s no pressure and no expectation — just a chance to see whether compassionate mentoring feels like the right fit for you at this point in your life. I can answer any questions you may have and it offers a brief opportunity to pause, connect, and listen in.

Compassionate Mentoring - One Hour

This is a spacious, dedicated hour for you to explore whatever is present — whether that’s a specific issue, an emotional tangle, a life transition, or an inner feeling that that something needs attention.

Our work together might include reflective conversation, guided inner enquiry, compassionate witnessing, or simple grounding practices — always at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no expectation to arrive with everything figured out; the session can unfold organically from where you are in the moment.

These sessions are not about ‘fixing’ you, but to create a kind, attuned space where you can explore your experiences, your feelings and your needs. It's a space of self-compassion. Over time, these sessions can help you develop insight, soften old patterns, and reconnect with your own clarity and strength.

To book your one-hour session, please email us at info@whisperingwisdom.co.uk.
