Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal
by Delphi Ellis.
Welcome
I am a qualified counsellor, trainer and author of Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal.
I started my therapeutic career more than two decades ago, working with the bereaved. My special interest is dreams and sleep, and you may know me as a ‘Dream Expert’, ‘The Dreams Maven™’ or The Dreams Lady™’ with media appearances including BBC radio and ITV’s ‘Loose Women’. I am also the creator of a weekly newsletter called Monday Mojo™, which has been sent to inboxes each week since 2017.
My particular focus today is around spiritual intelligence; this means using my skills, training and background to help people, as I call it, find their ‘mojo’ and get their sparkle back, often during or after a difficult time in their lives.
I grew up in an environment where we talked about dreams round the breakfast table, so when I qualified as a counsellor, it felt natural to me to help people explore their dreams if they shared them with me, when I started working with those going through a difficult time.
Since then, I’ve spoken with thousands of people who have shared their dreams with me, aiming to help them get a better night’s sleep – and dreaming.

What people say about Answers In The Dark
“A life changer!”
Delphi literally goes under the covers and shares her vast experience and knowledge about the reasons why many of us struggle to get a peaceful and rejuvenating night’s sleep. In my opinion this is the best book you will ever read about sleep, you will learn so much and will look forward to bedtime once again. .
Beth Lee-Crowther, Radio Presenter and Best-Selling Author
“Delphi really is a special and healing force”
A wonderful read filled with insight, kindness and compassion. Getting good sleep is one of the key ways to improve your well-being and this book helps with that but so much more along the way.
Gareth Eglinton-Pacitti, (CEO) YiS
“A helpful read!”
Delphi helps us to look at sleep from a different perspective and we all want a more restful night. I’ve already used some of the insights to get a better night’s sleep and as someone with insomnia I thought I had heard all the best ones already.
Genelle Aldred, Author and Broadcaster
“A must read!”
I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2016, resulting in a significant increase in my dreams and nightmares. Whilst I received therapy to live with my PTSD, understanding my dreams and interpreting them has always been a mystery. This book has unlocked those questions, I am grateful for the support and answers they have given me. The Sleep Cycle Repair Kit offers practical help. A must read. Thank you! – Pip

Full Moon Mojo – The Pink Moon (April)
This month’s Full Moon is unlikely to be pink itself – as cute as that would be – it’s actually thought to be named after the beautiful flowers coming into bloom at this time of year. According to this Almanac, it’s also known as the Breaking Ice moon, perhaps again to recognise that cold weather…
Full Moon Mojo – The Worm Moon (March)
This month’s Full Moon (25/3/24) is usually known as The Worm Moon. You might think that’s a bit ew – unless you love worms of course – but it makes sense, because this moon can symbolise Spring, and a time for renewal. As with all Full Moons it’s a time to let go, and a…
What is Spiritual Bypassing?
Note to reader: this article makes reference to trauma and difficult experiences. Always contact your healthcare team if you’re worried about your well-being. When we invest energy in living spiritually and we do this with self-awareness and compassionate self-reflection, this can be a meaningful pathway to spiritual intelligence (SQ).
