"Teach Yourself Counselling" is your perfect introduction to the counseling field. It includes everything you need to know about the profession, as well as updated information on online and telephone counseling.
In the midst of some courses and other books and cases I have been reading, this book was an amazing overview of certain background skills and ideals that a counsellor should have. It will stay on my shelf too because, through it, there were little activities and links and quotes that brought in a lot of great thinkers and practitioners that I haven't read fully yet. Defs makes me want to practice some of these skills and actually get some qualifications. Great book. good collection and overview of a subject that can be super detailed but presented in clear and simple and practical ways.
A thoroughly enjoyable and well-written book that keeps you engaged throughout. The pacing is strong, the ideas are interesting, and the overall experience is very rewarding. Definitely worth reading and recommending!
This book was in the reading list for my counselling skills course. I really enjoyed reading this book and I think the information is presented in a clear way with interesting case study examples. This book will be useful when revising and studying for higher level counselling courses
