I am not sure where my journey will take me, but I wish I had started with this book as it elucidates many of the ideas I wrestled with whilst trying to work out whether I had what it takes to even begin thinking about training. It is designed as a taster to see if counselling is an area you may wish to continue with or as a personal journey of growth. It doesn’t shy away from difficult questions, but you will feel nurtured and much better prepared by the end.

In his highly acclaimed accessible style, Sanders covers all relevant areas of training at this level - theory, personal development and building helping skills. They offer the trainee and novice helper a rich overview of the role, purpose and value of counselling skills in contemporary helping roles. I'm currently undertaking a Level 2 college course in Counselling and this book was on the reading list.

Since First Steps in Counselling was first published, every new edition has been a core textbook on counselling and counselling skills training courses.

the qualification you wish to study isn’t on the approved list of level 3 qualifications the College can run for free. First Steps in Counselling remains the text of choice for students and tutors of introductory courses. It is for anyone thinking of becoming a counsellor, working or volunteering in a role that requires helping and listening skills, or simply caring for someone.It's also my first book on the topic as I am starting my training next month and I will definitely refer back to it if needed. One of those does what it says on the tin kind of text books; good overall introduction to counselling written in an accessible fashion and is highly interactive as it engages the student in written exercises as it goes along. For many years he managed counselling services in further and higher education colleges and now runs a private counselling, supervision and mental health mentoring practice in Basingstoke, Hampshire. She has many interests including languages, dancing and tea-drinking, but above all, whether it be as vocalist for a folk band, screeching along to heavy metal in the kitchen, or as first soprano in a Russian choir, Paula sings.

This well-timed fifth edition reflects the critical eye cast by its authors as they observe our fast-changing world, bringing into view issues such as how we valorise the different models and approaches, how an intersectional approach to counselling brings into focus issues of power, and also, in a more subtle way, the relevance of the political to the world of counselling. I offer a professional service, as a member of the British association for counselling and psychotherapy (BACP) I am bound by an ethical code of practice, all meetings are completely confidential. This openness makes First Steps a truly collaborative endeavour, and an essential text for our field.Paula J Williams is a person-centred counsellor, trainer, lecturer and supervisor based in Scotland. All course materials will be uploaded weekly on Microsoft Teams and the team will support your development of the use of technology. He has written, co-written and edited a number of books, chapters and papers on many aspects of counselling, psychotherapy and mental health.

As the author is keen to explain, there are more people than counsellors who use counselling skills and this book would be perfect for them also.I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to explore the world of counselling but is uncertain where to start. It explains in clear language what counselling is, the theories on which it is based, how it works and how it is positioned in relation to contemporary debates about culture, politics, language, race and power. They are issues I must think about as I train, but more importantly, if I can follow their inspiration, I will be able to stand up for what’s right and help make the world a better place. He has written, co-written and edited numerous books, chapters and papers on many aspects of counselling, psychotherapy and mental health. This is a College-administered fund which can support some costs associated with attending qualification courses.
