Synopsis

A book on counselling skills for students of counselling and psychotherapy.

• Written in easy-to-understand (non-academic) language - Counselling skills theory decoded into plain English.
• Bonus downloadable audio files that demonstrate skills in action - Listen on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
• The perfect skills book for any student of counselling or psychotherapy - Easy reference to complement your studies.

In my book, I go beyond offering just a theoretical definition of what a skill is and an explanation of what it does in a counselling relationship.I share a deeper look into the skills and explore a more philosophical explanation from my own experience as a practising therapist and former counselling tutor.

About this title

About the Author

Kenneth Kelly is an author, practising counsellor, clinical supervisor and co-director of Counsellor Tutor Ltd.
Kenneth Kelly’s passion to help students of counselling and psychotherapy began shortly after his own graduation as a counsellor in 2011. Post graduation, Kenneth undertook further studies in education and took up a post as a counselling lecturer at a college in Warrington in England.
Kenneth teamed up with a fellow tutor, Rory Lees-Oakes, and together they created CounsellingTutor.com, an online platform with a weekly podcast and articles written specifically to support counselling students with their studies.
The formula was simple, take complex counselling theory and decode it into easy-to-understand language. This formula was well received and Counselling Tutor quickly became the world’s largest online support resource for students of counselling and psychotherapy with tens of thousands of site visits each month.
Kenneth’s first textbook called, Basic Counselling Skills - A Student Guide, is a world’s first in that the book has supporting audio files. Purchasers of the book get access to online audio files where the counselling student can listen to the skills being used in a simulated skills session. This brings the skills to life and creates a richer learning experience for the learner.
In Kenneth’s book, he goes beyond offering just a theoretical definition of what a skill is and an explanation of what it does in a counselling relationship. He shares a deeper look into the skills and explores a more philosophical explanation from his own experience as a practising therapist and former counselling tutor. The skill is explained and, in some cases, also demonstrated in a simulated session so you can hear how it is used and understand how it influences a session. The audio files can be listened to online, or downloaded and played on any smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer.
