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.
