About NVC-UK

NVC stands for Nonviolent Communication as developed by Dr Marshall B Rosenberg fondly known as Marshall. (1934 – 2015)

Certified Facilitators listed on this site have all been accredited by the International Centre for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) which was founded by Marshall. You can read more about NVC on the international site here

This site, therefore, offers an online information service connecting people who want to learn NVC with people who teach and share it.

Who runs this website?

We are a small team of three operating this site. Penny Spawforth, Tracy Seed and Therese Bentley. Whilst we get paid a nominal monthly amount, we largely offer our services on a volunteer basis because we are passionate about contributing to a more peaceful world by spreading NVC.

Our funds come from our membership base – supporters and advertisers as well as the sale of the feelings and needs cards. Please consider supporting this site if you want NVC to grow and thrive in the UK. For as little as £20 per year, you can become a supporter member here
