In Search of Soul: The journey of becoming our true self

Kindle Direct Publishing
Due to be published in 2026.

Extract from the back cover:

Soul is the answer to the question ‘Who am I?’. It is one of the most important questions we will ever ask ourselves but in recent times, the journey that will lead us to the answer has become a ‘road less travelled’ to draw on the words of the poet Robert Frost. This book is an invitation to the journey of becoming, of finding our way home to soul. Kaitlyn calls it the soul journey. It is without doubt the most important journey we will ever make for the soul is our best self. It is our deepest, truest and most fully human self. It is our intuitive, creative and most deeply loving self. It is our sacred, spiritual self and it is beyond beautiful. It is the self we long to be, the self we are meant to be. It is the self that has been calling us home from the day we were born.

Kaitlyn is a writer, teacher, psychologist, person-centred therapist and spiritual companion who has over forty years of experience in accompanying others on their soul journeys. Drawing both on person-centred philosophy and on the wisdom of the world's major spiritual traditions, she offers us her way of making sense of soul and its journey through life and shares with us her own and others' experience of the soul journey. She also describes a range of creative activities and practices that we can draw on in our journeying and explores the many gifts that the journey brings us we make our way home to soul.

Sacred Space: Embracing the spiritual in person-centred therapy. Kindle Direct Publishing 2014
Available on Amazon.

Extract from the back cover:

At one level, this book is an impassioned plea for the field of counselling and psychotherapy to take more seriously the spiritual dimension of human existence and to ‘put the soul back in psychotherapy’. At another level, the book constitutes an in–depth exploration of a spiritually oriented person-centred approach which is based on an integrative therapeutic model called the core self model.

The author traces the journey of the self through the stages of life and looks afresh at the process of becoming a person that Carl Rogers first described over fifty years ago. In so doing she draws not only on humanistic person-centred theory and practice, but also on the truths to be found in the world’s major spiritual traditions.

From the foreword by Professor Brian Thorne:

‘It is in the person-centred approach that Kaitlyn has experienced a gate-way into the world of spiritual reality with all its unknowns and challenges. With meticulous care the reader is guided into this terrain with exemplary skill and no little passion. The result is a book which serves as an admirable text for those in training as well as an invaluable resource for seasoned practitioners who are perhaps less familiar with the role of the person-centred therapist as a spiritual companion. Readers will also be inspired by encountering an author who often writes in a style of rare beauty and expresses complex thoughts with exquisite clarity. The pages on ‘soul love’, for example, constitute one of the finest expositions of this compelling subject that I have ever read. To study this book is in itself to undertake a therapeutic and spiritual pilgrimage which may prove transformative.’

Awakening
A Space for Soul publication

Awakening

Awakening was an online magazine published three to four times a year by a UK-based progressive spiritual community known as Space for Soul. For many years, I was the producer, editor and principle writer for Awakening and in that time, I published over seventy articles on a range of topics relating to progressive Christianity, the spiritual journey and spiritual practices.

These articles are no longer available online but I will be including a number of them in future blog series.
