All posts by Lesley Crawley

I am a fully trained counsellor and psychotherapist and currently teach on a counselling degree course. I have an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling from the University of Greenwich. I am also a priest in the Church of England. Although faith and spirituality inform my practice, my training is based on secular models. I am not a Christian Counsellor, but rather a counsellor who is a Christian. I enjoy working with people from all faiths and none. I value working with people who desire to grow, find purpose, and find freedom from unresolved issues. I have expertise in working with trauma, particularly adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I work with adults and currently, my practice is online.

Farnham Shines
This Advent join us in helping to make Farnham Shine! The idea is to place stars in our windows to brighten up the town and have fun finding them too. You can make your own stars or bring out the decorations it you haven’t got the box down already, and place one in your window.
Services in Church
Churches will reopen this Sunday for services. Please join us at 9.30am at St John’s, 10am at St George’s or 11am at St Mark’s.
