The Directive Growth Method
Helping people over 50 rebuild their lives after loss, divorce, burnout and major life change.
The Directive Growth Method was born from real-life challenges. Following the breakdown of my marriage and the destruction of my guitar shop business by fire in 2024, I found myself in the darkest point of my life. I was at rock bottom, faced profound emotional, financial, and identity disruption. I only had one option, rebuild.
Out of this adversity, I made a choice to help others with similar experiences, through guidance that I didn't get but so desperately needed. So I began studying counselling through Oxford Home Study Centre, exploring quantum neuroscience-informed principles of emotional regulation, and integrated holistic practices.
During this journey, I wrote and published 365 Days of Healing: Mindfulness, Healing & Inspiration, a daily guide to resilience, reflection, and intentional healing. The principles within this book originally helped me overcome depression and set a way forward in motion. They now form the philosophical foundation of the Directive Growth Method.
Through lived experience, structured reflection, neuroscience-informed regulation, and holistic alignment I will guide you from survival to intentional reconstruction.

Real Stories of Rebuilding
I contacted Henry (Ray of Hope) when I was in a bad place, going through some big changes in my life and just talking to him made things more clearer in my mind and gave me the strength I needed. Highly recommend. - Donna Gingell, Corsham
