Book Launch: Why people are hurting, and how they can be safely helped

 

The Void: book launch: 17July 2009

 

With day to day life becoming increasingly stressful and challenging a new book, The Void, looks at the reasons why more and more people are hurting, and how that hurt can show. It also explores how people can be safely offered psychological and emotional support.

The Void is written by Wendy Haslam (BA Ed, BA Counselling, Dip CPC), who has 20 years’ experience as a therapist, having trained in the UK and America. She has worked within the NHS; as part of team offering therapeutic care within a counselling centre; within a residential setting and now has her own counselling practice in Somerset. She is also a committee member for the South West region of national counselling charity the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC).

The Void  is aimed at members of the public who may be seeking answers to why they may feel that life is 'blocked' or uncomfortable; trained counsellors open to exploring new ways to work; those hoping to train as professional counsellors; church leaders seeking to establish safe practice in their ministry and anyone involved in the ministry of healing.

In The Void, Wendy looks at a range of situations and events – including separation and divorce, premature death and health issues – which can cause deep pain. As the UK Government moves towards regulation of counselling as a profession, she draws on counselling models, psychology, theology and her practice within the ministry of healing to clearly describe processes by which a counsellor or therapist can safely ‘come alongside’ a person to address their issues and facilitate healing.


The Void will be available via Amazon, price £10.99 or via the author at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it at £9.00 inc. p&p


The author: Wendy Haslam was born in Africa, and lived as a child in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. She was educated in the South West of England and America, then married and lived in Malawi and the UK with her three children. She was drawn into the church and the area of healing whilst living in Malawi. For more information about her counselling practice, Still Waters Counselling & Training, go to:
