Publisher's Synopsis
Imagine responding to a friend's concerns with empathy and clarity, or guiding a client through a challenge with cultural awareness and confidence. Solid communication techniques and strong counselling microskills make this possible. This guide serves as a concise and practical communication toolkit for:
- those exploring or entering the counselling field.
- professionals in a supportive role, such as teachers, case managers, and settlement workers.
- internationally educated mental health professionals new to a Western context.
- experienced counsellors looking for a refresher in culturally-sensitive communication.
For hands-on practice, pair this book with its companion, 50 Counselling Scenarios, which provides discussion questions, practice roleplays, and reflections to help you apply these techniques with others in a variety of counselling contexts.
