Pastoral & Spiritual Care

Support for Meaning, Loss and Life’s Difficult Questions

At times, life brings experiences that cannot be resolved through practical solutions alone.

Serious illness, grief, caregiving, uncertainty, changes in identity and end-of-life experiences can raise questions about meaning, purpose, hope, suffering, relationships and what matters most.

Spiritual and pastoral care offers a respectful space to explore these experiences.

You do not need to belong to a religion or hold a particular belief to receive spiritual care.

Support is guided by your own values, beliefs, cultural background and preferences. Where appropriate and requested, it may include spiritual reflection, religious or non-religious practices, or conversations about meaning and connection.

Spiritual care is distinct from psychotherapy, although emotional, relational, spiritual and existential concerns may overlap.

At SHM, the nature and boundaries of the service are discussed according to your needs and the practitioner’s professional role.
