Very useful reference point and a decent assortment of recommended reading to jump into next.

[Heather Coffee_Kindle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this to be the most accessible book to start me off on my person-centred learning, as it gives good, clear definitions of meanings, that were otherwise lost on me.
I now have a good grounding to tackle the rest of my books

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

A clear and concise book, which I feel would be most beneficial if used as a starting point or alongside other resources when wishing to gain an understanding about person centred counselling. However it still had value as a stand alone book.

[Sonny Peart · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written for those starting out on the road to a qualification/career in counselling, but a very useful overview of the history and process of person-centred counselling for those on the metaphorical couch.
