textbook specifically aimed at students in training as
counsellors and psychotherapists, who have already
completed an introductory course' - British
Journal of Guidance and
Counselling

on skilling the client provides a valuable toolkit,

models. His "Skilled Client Model" provides an excellent
substitute for Egan's "Skilled Helper" - Zoë
Fitzgerald-Pool, Director of Training & Development,

`A text which provides
trainers and trainees alike with a veritable
treasure-house of creative ideas' - Brian Thorne,

`The "skilled client model"
is a distinct advance, I think... and very helpful' -
Ron Perry, Director, Institute of
Counselling, Sydney
'The book is written
in a clear and orderly fashion.... Therapy is a process
and learning is a process too, and this textbook will
undoubtedly assist trainees to move along their own
process of learning and becoming reflective and
effective practitioners' - Stefania Gribcic,
Counselling Psychology Review
Essential
Counselling and Therapy Skills is written for
trainees who are beginning to work with clients under
supervision. Building on what has been learnt during
introductory courses, the book supports students in the
next stage of their practical skills development.
Written by leading author, Richard Nelson-Jones,
Essential Counselling and Therapy Skills is a
step-by-step guide to therapeutic work using the`skilled
client model'. Central to this innovative approach, is
the assumption that the skill of counsellors and
therapists lies in their capacity to impart skills to
clients. The book focuses on: establishing collaborative
working relationships; working with clients to find
shared definitions of their problems; enabling clients
to improve how they think, communicate and act; and
dealing with questions of diversity, ethical practice
and the value of supervision.
Accessibly written, the
book contains numerous skill-building activities and
case examples, making Essential Counselling and
Therapy Skills an ideal textbook for practical
skills training in counselling, counselling psychology,
psychotherapy and other helping professions.
