Description

This book aims to help the reader understand what is involved in becoming a counsellor, and what to expect of the experience of counsellor training.

Covering everything from interviewing for practitioner training, doing personal and professional development, to seeing your very first client, this book gives a thorough, step-by-step examination of the process of becoming a counsellor. It draws upon the authors' diverse experience of working within the counselling field, academic research and personal testimonies from a wide range of counselling students. Readers will gain valuable insight into the personal demands/responsibilities and the transformation that training and qualifying involves. Included throughout the book are pedagogical features such as reflection points, vignettes, case studies, and activities which will help prepare readers for the experiential process they will go through.

The Process of Becoming a Counsellor is an important resource for anyone planning to start or just beginning counselling training. It is a must-read for anyone contemplating a counselling qualification or who may be wondering if training to be a counsellor is the right pathway for them.

Reviews

"This book is a must-read for anyone considering or currently in counselling training. Comprehensive and accessible, it offers a clear guide to selecting the right course, navigating the application process, and understanding key aspects of training such as supervision, personal therapy, and experiential groups. The book offers valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of self-awareness, the role of personal reflection, and the unconscious motivations for pursuing therapy. It thoughtfully addresses important topics such as diversity and the challenges of working in a rapidly changing global environment. This is an indispensable resource for aspiring therapists."

-Clare Camm, Senior Lecturer in Integrative Psychotherapy, Metanoia Institute, BACP Accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist, UK

"This is a must have book for potential counselling course trainees. Jayne and Tara have put together an excellent book exploring the personal impact and professional learning on counselling training courses. They have generously shared some of their own personal stories and new professional struggles when they completed counselling training. I highly recommend this book and I wish that I had a copy of it at the beginning of my training."

-John Bradley, Counsellor, Supervisor and Trainer in Private Practice (Hull and York) Former trainer at the Ellesmere Centre in Hull.
BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor, UK

"This book provides a comprehensive and yet highly accessible companion to those considering therapeutic training. This book captures the challenges and learning curves on the personal and professional journey undertaken by trainees from consideration of the range of different therapeutic approaches and selection of a programme of study to securing a practice placement. This book examines and highlights the developmental stages experienced by the trainee therapist and covers the wide range of questions and answers that any would-be therapist might need to consider before embarking on a programme of study. In conclusion, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone considering therapy training."

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
