Synopsis

The first and second editions of this best-selling book became standard texts in universities, colleges and training institutes all over the UK. This third edition is a further timely update in the fast-changing world of counselling and helping, with additional material on counselling and helping skills for a range of contexts from teaching through volunteer helping to citizenship.

This book is for students on basic introduction to counselling courses from around 20 to 100 hours duration. It covers all relevant areas of training at this level — theory, personal development and building helping skills. Intended as a support for tutors and a companion for course participants, the text emphasises personal development and good practice, and can be used with confidence as a focus for training or a supplement to it.

First Steps in Counselling has set the standard for approachable entry-level books, mapping out the ground of contemporary counselling for those with little or no prior experience. Teachers, nurses, social workers, police officers, managers and volunteers have all been supported in the development of their context-specific helping skills. Rich in down-to-earth examples, quotations and activities, First Steps in Counselling stimulates thought, builds confidence and develops self-awareness.
