Welcome. Glad you’re here.

At the heart of this work is Refocussing and God Spaces; reflective practices that create room for attentiveness, faith, and honest engagement with lived experience. These spaces are shaped carefully so that insight can arise without pressure, and people can bring their whole selves without needing to perform or explain.

Jan Dowling has spent many years working with these reflective approaches in community, church, and organisational settings. Her work is grounded in extensive experience and shaped through direct training, mentoring, and supervision with the originator of the Refocussing method. Jan is one of handful of people globally equipped to train others in this model, a responsibility she holds with humility and care.

What you will find here is not answers or formulas; it is companionship, depth, and thoughtful space. This is work that values safety, integrity, and trust; and that believes meaningful reflection takes time.

About the Work

This work has grown through practice rather than promotion. Over many years, Jan has accompanied individuals and groups through reflective processes that honour complexity, faith, and the quiet wisdom that often emerges when space is held well.

Refocussing and God Spaces draw thoughtfully from both psychological and theological traditions, without reducing either to technique. The focus is not on fixing or improving people, but on helping them notice what is already present and gently discern what may be unfolding.

Jan’s credibility rests not only in her training, but in the way she holds space. Participants often speak of the calm, safety, and attentiveness they experience in the room; a sense that nothing needs to be rushed or resolved. Leadership here is expressed through presence and care, rather than direction or authority.
