Counselling Skills in Context

This text is endorsed by the British Association of Counsellor and Psychotherapists to accompany their new qualification in counselling skills. Many professionals, such as teachers, nurses, and social workers need such skills everyday, and increasing numbers are taking courses in the area. This edited text gives particular attention to the contexts and roles in which counselling skills are used, providing useful examples for professionals seeking to apply the skills to their own situation. Each chapter contains both underpinning knowledge needed for the qualification, and practical activities designed to test the knowledge.
