Effective counselling is based on a strong working relationship
between counsellor and client. Building and maintaining this
therapeutic alliance, demands both skill and an ability to
negotiate challenges which arise during the counselling process.
Key Issues for Counselling in Action prepares new practitioners
for face-to-face work with clients by looking at what is required
at each stage of the process and examining issues which
practitioners most frequently need to deal with along the way. The
topics covered are relevant to all counsellors, regardless of
theoretical orientation.
The book explores the everyday issues counsellors face when
" Getting started
" Making an assessment
" Working at relational depth
" Setting goals, and
" Ending the relationship
Advice is also given on more difficult challenges, such as
dealing with
" reluctant clients,
" stuckness
" client dependency, and
" unplanned endings.
Key Issues for Counselling in Action is a bestselling text which
