Basic Personal Counselling is an easy-to-read introduction to counselling skills for both professional and volunteer counsellors and workers in the helping professions. Fully up-to-date, and reflecting current best practice, this Australian text introduces counselling skills in a logical sequence and provides practical examples of the skills in action.
Basic Personal Counselling shows how combining counselling skills using an integrative approach can produce change. It discusses the processes of change involved in counselling and provides approaches for counselling people with specific problems such as anger, depression, grief, or suicidal ideation. It also discusses professional issues including confidentiality, ethics, record-keeping, arrangement of a counselling room, the need to care for yourself and the importance and use of supervision.
