Teach Yourself Counselling covers the many fundamental aspects of counselling and addresses what it involves, what are the main skills and how are they used. It helps the reader to decide for themselves whether they have what it takes to be a counsellor.

This comprehensive introduction includes the examination of the origins and theoretical models of counselling, details different counselling skills and examples of how they work and discusses the benefits of counselling skills in the work place as well as in personal relationships. It also helps the reader by clearly explaining terms and demystifying theoretical jargon.

It is set out in two parts, one which explains the fundamentals of counselling, and the second which gives an in-depth understanding and which covers the three major approaches used by counsellors.
