Product Description

Book Description

The first two editions of this book have provided welcome assistance to thousands of students on counselling courses at all levels, in settings from further education colleges to universities. Frequently described as a ‘life saver’, it is now updated and re-styled for the fast-changing world of training and assessment in counselling.
Whether you are returning to study after several years away from education, or are one of life’s perpetual students, this book will be an invaluable study guide. All facets of counselling courses are included, from improving your essay writing through overcoming the fear of using libraries to beating the traumas of tape transcribing. This book is approachable and reassuring in its style, aiming to help you express yourself in your assignments to the best effect.


From the Publisher

Tutors also find this book an invaluable classroom and individual tutorial resource for all students grappling with assignments, regardless of the level of counselling training.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book became my trusted friend., 9 Aug 2001
By texasdenise@hotmail.com (Norwich, Norfolk, England.) - See all my reviews
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone contemplating a counselling course. Easy to read, it covers every aspect of the different types of work that would be required during the course. It is given in very simple language with easy to follow examples. This book almost became my bible, as soon as the next piece of work was to be done I would look to see how it suggested doing it. For someone like myself who had been a stranger to coursework and textbooks for many years it became a real friend. The book is divided into eight chapters each covering an important aspect of study skills for a counselling course. Topics such as skills and techniques for effective study, written and non-written assignments, the importance of getting your learning environment right etc. There are scattered throughout the book wonderful 'inside stories.' I especially liked and empathised with 'Tracy's story'(The life, partnership and family) a mother of two who works part time as well as doing an intensive part time diploma course. There are also stories from a tutor, supervisor and external examiner. At the end of each chapter hints and tips are given on the areas covered, this can be helpful as a quick reminder. I guess my favourite part of the book in a very frivolous yet thought provoking way was found on p.136 Therapese - How to sound like a counsellor without really being one. Six lists of counselling relevant words are given and you are invited to pick a word from each list at random and be amazed at how intellectual you can sound. I could have lots of fun with this while broadening my range of vocabulary. On that note I would say I really rate this book highly, I could not have done as well as I have without it I'm sure. Thanks Pete Sanders.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Step in the Right Direction., 16 Oct 2004
By Jez (Southern England) - See all my reviews
A gem of a find!

This easily accessed book helped to put my anxiety about the first essay aside and concentrate on the real stuff of counselling.

Its explanation of how to get the best out of the dreaded PD was worth the money itself.

The real life experiences of a trainee and her partner (whose story my long suffering husband appreciated!), a qualified counsellor and a supervisor helped to give this book the edge that previously read help books seem to lack.

4.0 out of 5 stars a must for all counselling students, 27 Aug 2009
By Mr. Christopher Wadeson "chris" (wigan lancs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a MUST for all counselling students, it has a good section on learning processes on counselling courses, and highlights the process of personal development, a key area when in counselling training. it has a very good section on assesments and assignments on counselling courses, it gives a guide to what and how you will be assessed, gives advice on written assignments, essay writing skills and techniques,it also provides model answers. it covers skills assesments- tape recordings, presitations, supervision, research projects,workshop sessions,as well as giving and receiving constructive and effective feedback.
As i go on to my diploma to complete my counselling training i know this book will become my best friend, and will always be in my bag to refer to.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing
Sadly, I do not agree with the previous review especially as I like other publications by this author. Disappointing at best, patronizing at worst.
