Career counselling is often mistakenly described as giving
people advice on finding the best career path. This fully revised
and updated second edition of Career Counselling explains what
career counselling actually is, why people seek it, and indicates
the many contexts where it is used. It describes in detail the
skills, tools and techniques of career counselling, useful to both
professional career counsellors and those for whom career
counselling is just part of their work.
This practical guide examines the issues typically brought to
career counselling, and includes a completely new chapter on the
role of career counselling within organisations. Other areas
covered include:
o the dilemmas of independent and in-house career
counsellors
o screening and contracting
o ways of facilitating decision-making and managing blocks'
o self-management and continuing professional development.
Career Counselling, Second Edition stresses the importance of
adopting a whole person' approach whilst maintaining a career
focus. Illustrated throughout by case studies from the authors'
experience, the book draws on approaches ranging from the
humanistic work of Carl Rogers to solution-focused counselling. The
book contains an invaluable resources section and includes a brand
new appendix containing photocopiable exercises which practitioners
and their clients can use in conjunction with their counselling
sessions.
