Meet the Team

Wesley House has been at the forefront of developments in pastoral and reflective supervision in the UK and across the world since 2004. Today we offer training courses, expert supervision, workshops and consultancy services to churches and other organisations.  We are engaged in research, publication and the supervision of academic research.

Our Principal The Revd Dr Jane Leach was the founding chair of the Association for Pastoral Supervisors and Educators (APSE www.pastoralsupervision.org.uk).  She is an accredited APSE supervisor and educator and holds a diploma in Creative Supervision from the London Centre for Psychodrama.  She offers pastoral supervision to clergy, chaplains and other church workers and teaches on the Wesley House Diploma in Pastoral Supervision, and the Wesley House Diploma in Group Supervision.  She was the team lead in introducing reflective supervision into the Methodist Church in Britain (2017-21) and has consulted and taught supervision within the United Methodist Church and Kenya.

 

The Revd Nicola Vidamour is our Director of Reflective Pastoral Supervision. She initially trained as a supervisor within the British Methodist Church and completed the Wesley House Diploma in Pastoral Supervision in 2022. She is a trained spiritual director and a founder member of the Community for Spiritual Formation. Nicola is a Methodist Minister who has served in a variety of appointments in Britain, most recently in a local ecumenical partnership in Milton Keynes. She also served as a Mission Partner in Pskov, Russia and her first book Where Two Rivers Meet: Russian Windows on the Gospel was published by Sacristy Press in 2022.

The Revd Gwyneth Owen is a recently retired Methodist Minister and an APSE accredited senior supervisor and trainer. For the last 10 years she has supervised ordained, probationer and student ministers and now supervises widely within and outside of the Methodist Church. She works as part of the Methodist Church’s supervision training team as well as delivering training through Wesley House.

 

Dr Sue Price is the Director of Pastoral Outreach at the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology.   She worked for 30 years in Healthcare as an Occupational Therapist where clinical supervision was embedded into practice.  Sue attended the inaugural meeting of APSE in Cambridge, realising that her healthcare supervision practice could be used within ministerial settings.  Sue has a Pastoral Supervision practice as part of her work at MBIT and has recently gained the Diploma in Pastoral Supervision. Sue is a general member of APSE, working towards accreditation.   Sue is now getting involved with the training programmes offered by Wesley House.

 

The Revd Bob Whorton offers reflective supervision either face to face or online. His first substantial training in supervision was with the London Centre for Psychodrama where he fell in love with creative methods of reflection. He is a senior accredited supervisor and educator with APSE, and is a spiritual director. Bob has worked as a lead trainer with the Methodist Church’s ambitious Responsible Grace training programme in pastoral supervision. After many years as a circuit minister he worked as a mental health chaplain and hospice chaplain. Between 2017 and 2022 he lived in rural France where he and his wife Sue set up a small centre for reflection and the arts. Living in Scotland, he is now semi-retired.
