Description
Book SynopsisâœIt is rare for a book to tackle the range of problems and difficulties counsellor training involves in such a comprehensive manner, it is rarer still for the style of writing to engage the reader as this book manages to do... I wish this book had been available when I was a student.â Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
âœHow do I get through this?â is one of the questions that counselling and psychotherapy students most often ask themselves: John Karter has answered this and many other fundamental questions in his book.
Undoubtedly there are many pressures upon students but the process can and should be an enjoyable. Written from a âœstudentâs-eye viewâ this book explores the professional and personal difficulties that may be encountered and offers practical advice on how to avoid problems where possible and overcome them when necessary.
From start to finish, the pitfalls are highlighted in order that students can seek help when and where it is needed. The
Trade Review
"As course director of the Diploma in Counseling at Birkbeck College, I am frequently fielding enquiries from prospective students eager to embark on a career in counseling and often recommend this book so that they are better prepared for the harsh realities of training, then working, as a counselor.
I wish this book had been available when I was a student." - Clive Carswell
