Practical Counselling Skills
is a comprehensive course text for training new counsellors
in basic and more advanced counselling skills. The way to integrate the use
of skills from a number of therapeutic approaches is described. |
The
book enables new trainees to learn how to make informed choices about the type
of skill to use and how to integrate these skills within a sequential
counselling process. It contains the following:
 | A wide
variety of examples to illustrate each counselling micro‑skill. |
| Practice
examples of client statements for use by students, with suggested counsellor
responses. |
| Client
statements, without solutions, for use by teachers in helping students to
learn particular micro‑skills. |
| An
explanation of the therapeutic approaches related to particular micro‑skills. |
| A
discussion of the way to combine skills to facilitate change. |
| A
discussion of a range of practical issues including cultural and ethical
issues, the counselling environment, keeping records, the need for
supervision, and the need for the counsellor to look after themselves. |
This
accessible introduction to
counselling, skills is essential reading for teachers and trainees alike.
