Peter Madsen Gubi, PhD, is Senior Lecturer in Counselling at the University of Chester and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Central Lancashire, UK. He is a BACP Registered Senior Accredited Counsellor, a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor, and a Person-Centred Spiritual Accompanier in Private Practice. He has two Masters degrees in Applied and Pastoral Theology and is an ordained Minister in the Moravian Church. He is the author of Prayer in Counselling and Psychotherapy, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

A breath of postmodern fresh air and a go-to resource for students and practitioners of spiritual accompaniment and counseling! This text thrills my practitioner's soul as Gubi and the authors affirm what many of us experience as true -- spiritual accompaniment and counseling deal with similar questions of meaning and purpose and utilize skills common to both disciplines. This warmly accessible resource affirms that with deep reverence for the mystery of the human journey -- and for the Presence greater than ourselves who journeys with us -- both disciplines can instruct and inform each other to the benefit of the clients we serve.
