Counselling and Helping

"Wonderfully illustrated with case examples, this book is clearly written and down-to-earth. A must-read for beginners and experienced counsellors alike."
Robin Davidson, Queens University Belfast

What exactly is counselling and how does it differ from other helping relationships? What skills are needed and can they be taught? Counselling and Helping answers these and other fundamental questions, offering an accessible introduction to the core principles of the subject.

The book provides a broad framework for helping, introducing the main styles and approaches to counselling, and describes some of the tools used within a counselling relationship. New chapters for the second edition cover topics such as coping, coaching, spirituality, and the body. In addition, more material on counselling processes, outcomes, and models has been incorporated. Counselling in both one-to-one and group situations is also covered, and recurring case studies are used throughout.

This indispensable introduction to the subject will enable potential counsellors to decide whether or not they wish to pursue a career in the area. It will also be of real benefi t to those employed in nursing, medicine, and social work and those in human resources, educational and voluntary settings, for whom basic counselling skills are often invaluable.
