'Replete with a wealth of suggested techniques that can be used when working with children of different ages' - Robyn M Gillies, School of Education, University of Queensland, Brisbane
Counselling Children is a highly practical, bestselling guide to skills and strategies which can be used in working with children who are experiencing emotional problems.
Written in straightforward terms, the book sets out the authors' model of sequentially-planned integrative counselling for children (SPICC) and describes the specific techniques which practitioners can use to help children
" tell their story and release troubling emotions
" improve self-concept and deal with unhelpful beliefs
" recognize their options and choices
" discover new behaviours, and manage impulsive behaviour.
The book also provides guidelines for selecting and using a range of media, play and activities and includes 30 photocopiable worksheets that are featured throughout the book. The worksheets are designed for practitioners to use directly with children to help them explore their feelings and experiences in more depth. Thoroughly revised and updated, this Third Edition features two new chapters on counselling children in groups.
Counselling Children, Third Edition is widely used in the practical skills training of counsellors, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, nurses, teachers, and other professionals who work with children. It is also an ideal resource for any practice-setting providing counselling services for children.

Customer Reviews
The main theoretical model used involves enabling the child to tell her/his story, and there are many practical suggestions about how to do this.
The authors suggest ways to use different media and recommend which media are suitable for different ages of children. My only caveat is that I have found it helpful to leave the choice of media with the children as this is empowering for them.
In addition to providing a framework for working with children, this is a useful handbook to refer to again and again. I highly recommend it.
It is presented in a very pratcial way and is ideal for beginners and more experienced childrens counsellors.
It includes the steps within the counselling process, counselling skills and techinques.
Each chapter is well focused on those needs which means you can either read the book through or go back and focus on certain areas.Which really makes it a timeless book.
It was originally written several years ago but proves that basic skills and activites are timeless and invaluable with childrens work.
It focuses on -
groundwork inc the room & equipment and your own suitabilty.
building the relationship
the process of therapy
family therapy
theraputic change
helping the child tell the story
facillitating change
medias and activities to use
Worksheet suggestions
What I really love about it is praticality .For example the exploration of the different medias that can aid childrens work. These are even divided on charts to show their suitabilty to different areas and age groups.
It is the kind of book which really keeps you grounded, pratical and aids you endlessly in your counselling- no matter what your counselling orientation is. Definately one to buy & keep .
Age appropriate interaction in the form of games, workbooks etc.. Read more
