Synopsis

·How do you become an effective counsellor?
·What are the moral and ethical values that a counsellor must explore?
·How does a counsellor develop a personal approach to their work and clients?

This book provides a series of reflective learning tasks to support counsellors through key stages in training. Linking to the best selling Open University Press textbook, An Introduction to Counselling, John McLeod offers a range of thoughtful exercises enabling counsellors to build on life experience, engage with theories and concepts, reflect on cases, learn from critical issues in practice, and develop a professional identity. Readers are encouraged to construct a rich account of their counselling competencies, concepts, values and personal qualities. Learning tasks are cross-referenced to pages in An Introduction to Counselling, and other key sources.

This book contributes to the process of becoming an effective counsellor by:

·Enabling consolidation of personal learning and development
·Facilitating the integration of theory, practice and personal experience
·Providing arenas for collaborative dialogue and exploration with fellow trainees

The Counsellor’s Workbook is an invaluable resource for counselling students, tutors and trainers, and for experienced practitioners engaging in continuing professional development. It promotes an integrative approach to counselling, which emphasises the core relational and personal dimensions of all therapeutic work and can be used in conjunction with other books or as a stand-alone text.
