| Hugh Crago is Senior Lecturer in Counselling within the School of Social Sciences at the University of Western Sydney. He has many years’ experience teaching counselling at a variety of universities and private institutes, and contributes a regular column, ‘Straight Talk on Training’ to Psychotherapy in Australia magazine. Hugh’s interests are wide-ranging, and he is the author of Prelude to Literacy (with Maureen Crago, 1983), A Circle Unbroken (1999), and Couple, Family and Group Work (2006). Hugh has almost completed The Teller and the Tale, an exploration of how the maturing brain shapes the capacity for story-making.
Penny Gardner also teaches counselling at the University of Western Sydney. Like many of the students she teaches, Penny came to study counselling in her mid-forties. Her original degree was a BA from Macquarie University, with a double major in Human Geography and Philosophy. She also taught dressage for many years, and believes the levels of awareness and relatedness that are helpful in the work between horse and rider in this discipline have many parallels with the counselling process. Penny has several areas of interest in working with clients, including Emotionally Focussed Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Bowenian Family Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. |
