Refocussing, the theory and practice created by Dr Diane Divett is: (1) A Personal Development practice ; (2) a Pastoral care and counselling programme. (3) and a Counselling theory and practice that is an integration of theology and psychology. The counselling theory and its developement is outlined in the book, ’Refocussing and God Spaces a holistic counselling theory and practice’ (2011), authored by Dr Diane Divett amazon.com/Refocussing-Spaces-holistic-counselling-practice/dp/3844334750
Finally, Refocussing has also been developed into a series of specific educational programmes with accompanying curriculum including Refocussing as:
- a comprehensive counselling theory and practice, namely Refocussing theory (RF) and its practice Refocussing therapy (RFT);
- a programme for small groups developing people’s awareness of God, self and others;
- a life-mapping and life coaching course;
- a theory and practice, namely – ‘Godspaces’ to encounter and experience God;
- a leadership development pastoral supervision and church consultancy programme.
As the name suggests, Refocussing is about focus and refocus using the pivotal component – ‘Godspaces’, which provides people with a way to connect to God’s power and presence, empowering them to achieve a balanced, and ‘wholistic’ way of living.

Who is Behind Refocussing?
Refocussing theory and practice was originated and developed by Dr Diane Divett who has been a teacher and also the co-senior pastor of several churches alongside her husband Hamish Divett. It was during her years as a pastor she developed the theology fundamental to Refocussing and then researched and developed this further as a core part of her Masters degree in 1992-1995 , following it up by completing a Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy degree) at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, (listed as the top research university.)
Refocussing is fully supported by Diane’s’ extensive academic and practical experience as a Teacher, Pastor and Counsellor since 1975. more about people…>>
