Philippa and Greg Cleall live on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Philippa’s work as a Children’s and Family Counsellor has given her the privilege of walking alongside many individuals and families through times of pain, crisis, and growth. She also serves as a voluntary chaplain in the Australian NSW court system, offering comfort, support, one-on-one program interventions, and where discussions allow, the hope of Christ to those facing some of life’s most difficult circumstances.
Philippa has been married to Greg for 18 years, is a mother to three adult children, stepmother to two adult daughters, and a proud grandmother. As a committed Christian for over 30 years, her walk with God has been shaped not only by faith, but also by personal trials and seasons of deep testing. These experiences have instilled in her a compassionate heart and a desire to bring encouragement and restoration through her writing. The novels Restoring Hope and Grace for the Broken in The Restored from Ashes Series, draw from this well of lived experience and spiritual insight. She is passionate about supporting the vulnerable and hopes that these novels and their accompanying Discussion Guides will be helpful for those on the journey of healing from painful or harmful relationships or navigating an unplanned pregnancy.
Greg Cleall as a committed Christian himself has his own experience of lived harm from his childhood and a previous marriage relationship. He has spent time over the past two decades regularly supporting men with mental health and relationship challenges. This has enabled him to contribute wisdom in writing the resource Healthy Men Helping Men to Grow Safer Relationships as he understands many of the complex factors involved in taking steps towards courageously helping other men become safe.
Both Philippa and Greg feel passionate about supporting others to heal from harm, to become safer in relationships, and to provide resources for churches and community organisations to better support young men and women facing unplanned pregnancies.
