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.

We are entering a new era where the presence of spirituality in therapy has moved beyond mere 'novelty' status. This book offers revealing insights that clearly demonstrate the maturing of a spiritual dimension found in counselling and psychotherapy. The authors establish without doubt that spiritual accompaniment, while a disciple in its own right, has a vital part to play in the evolution of the psyche/soul in counselling and psychotherapy.
