Counselling Children: A Practical Introduction

`I like the interactive style in which the book is written, whereby the reader is invited to consider how they might deal with a situation... following which the authors explain how they approach it.... The book is for counsellors in training and a resource for practising counsellors. The methods described can be adapted to different settings, for example school and home.... I would recommend this comprehensive and stimulating book to anyone who is interested or involved in working in a therapeutic way with children′ - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling This introductory guide to the practice of counselling children, and to the practical issues of communicating with children in

This book was presented to my classmates and I during our second year of master's (children and adolescents counselling) and it was much more interesting than I had expected. It doesn't necessarily bring new insights into children & adolescents counselling (for those licensed in psychology) but what makes this book applicable are the practical tips and worksheets presented at the back, which can be printed and worked through with their designed population.

Totally recommend it!

Gives really specific examples and you can apply the worksheets that are given to students at school or your clients at therapy. Very useful source.

This text book receives a rather high rating from me because I honestly feel that it is readable. I found myself internalizing content easier through this. The flow is rather easy to follow as well. Foresee myself needing a quick pick-me-up in future, if I decide to specialize in the area. Definitely not as scary-looking as other textbooks for university reads!
