About Me

Mark Phippen
I have worked as a counsellor for over 30 years in the UK. I have also been a Christian for longer than that. This blog is my 'thinking aloud' about issues of faith and counselling. Since January 2014 I have been living in Nairobi, Kenya, still doing counselling, but now in a Christian mission setting.
