Deborah A. Lee is Lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Salford and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). She has 20+ years of experience in higher education, leading and teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses, advising students on study skills. Deborah is UKCP-registered, MBACP, and NCS (Accred), and has a private practice offering person-centred counselling and psychotherapy. Deborah's current teaching and writing has a focus on social justice in counselling and psychotherapy education, training, and practice, drawing on heuristic research, autoethnography, creative non-fiction and arts-based presentations. She is co-editor, with Emma Palmer, of #MeToo: Counsellors and psychotherapists speak about sexual violence and abuse (PCCS Books, 2020), guest editor of the special issue of Psychotherapy and Politics International (2020) on therapists' lived experiences, and her case-study research has appeared in the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling (2017) and Self & Society (2019). Pete Sanders worked as a volunteer at Off The Record, Newcastle-upon Tyne in 1972 before completing a degree in psychology at the university there, and then the postgraduate diploma in counselling at Aston University. He practised as a counsellor, educator and clinical supervisor for more than 30 years. He wrote, co-wrote and edited numerous books, chapters and papers on many aspects of counselling, psychotherapy and mental health, including PCCS Books' very popular 'Steps' series (in which this book belongs) for people entering and progressing through counselling training and into practice. He was co-founder of PCCS Books with Maggie Taylor-Sanders, which they launched almost 30 years ago to publish high-quality training materials and books that put the person in distress at the centre of the help offered. After he retired from practice and publishing, Pete continued to maintain an active interest in the development of person-centred theory, the politics of counselling and psychotherapy and the demedicalisation of distress, and to write and edit books on these topics. Pete died in February 2022, shortly after completing this fourth edition of Step in to Study Counselling with Deborah A. Lee.
