where have you been all of my counselling life

Absolute gem of a book. So informative, easy to engage and understand. Great for students and experienced counsellors as a reminder. Loved this book. Highly recommended

[Alvis Krasevskis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent overview and introduction to what fundamental skills are needed for a counsellor or a psychotherapist.

[Delbert Yip · Rating 3 out of 5]

Straightforward and concise. I skimmed the second half of the text. The examples were useful and will be useful for review. I might revisit the exercises if I have time in the future, as some of them looked interesting.

The case studies offered professional insight. More would have been helpful.

This was a really helpful read and offered some great insights into counselling training. The sample contracts and assessment forms are particularly useful. Loved this quote: "your life and the lives of those you touch will be the richer for all the hard work you have put in to get to where you are."
