Integrative Counselling Skills in Action

by Susan Culley

`This excellent book describes a three-stage model of counselling compatible with similar models.. but using simple, everyday language which allows the ideas and structures suggested to be readily accessible to many people... A valuable addition to the existing books on counselling skills, the greatest value of this book will be to new students of counselling, helping them to identify and practice the skills they are learning. However, its very easy, accessible style will make it a welcome addition to many a bookshelf′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review The focus of this book is upon the communication skills which every counsellor needs in order to work effectively with clients.

[ME · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read as part of my counselling Masters program- good application of practical skills in counselling. I appreciated that there were lots of examples of the skills in use. Of particular interest to me was the second to last chapter on how the skills could be used with particular challenges (anxiety, bereavement, depression...) I would recommend it.

A comprehensive and accessible analysis of counselling skills and a framework for using them with clients. Not the most thrilling read ever, but it is great for any trainee counsellor looking for guidance on what to do with their early clients - particularly in short term work.

A must-read if you're an integrative counselling student

[David Lai · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thorough treatment of the counselling process, reasonable and readable. Owes a lot to Egan's The Skilled Helper, but is not as abstract.
