Counselling Skills in Everyday Life
Authors: Kathryn & David Geldard

published by Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2003

Most of us find ourselves listening to other people's problems at some time or another - be they those of our friends or, in the course of our work, patients, pupils, clients, or colleagues.  This book, written clearly in user-friendly language, takes readers step by step through a range of skills to help them become better listeners, communicators and helpers in their everyday lives, progressing from inviting a person to talk to ending a helping conversation.   Using plenty of examples, tips, exercises and sample conversations, the authors show how the skills described can be easily learnt and can fit comfortably into everyday life.

This book is essential reading for everyone interested in improving
their communication and helping skills.
