Counselling Skills and Studies Reviews

'This book is the ultimate reference tool; like having a tutor present outside the classroom. It's the book I have been waiting for, for twenty years!' -- Nigel Cooper-Fowkes

This book speaks wise words, in an engaging, practical and conversational style. It provides essential information, covers all the basics with clarity, whilst also stretching readers to think more deeply and consider their own responses to questions and answers. It will be an excellent resource for all counselling learners (and their tutors) where ever they are training.

-- Sally Openshaw

Counselling Skills and Counselling Studies is written by a team from CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body), the largest Awarding Organisation for counselling and counselling skills courses in the UK. This book will be especially useful, if not essential for students on CPCAB courses as it clearly explains the model of counselling taught in all courses. The third section provides clear and helpful guidance to any student on the specific study skills needed in counselling courses. The question and answer format guides readers to issues they may not have thought about. The entire book is written in clear accessible language and avoids psychobabble and jargon.

-- Sally Aldridge
It is written clearly and accessibly and is packed with examples, activities, tables and reflections that break up the text and keep the reader engaged. These are complemented throughout by informal 'Q&A' passages, designed to reflect the curiosity of the new learner. -- Abi Howarth, Counsellor in training
