Author Description

A book on counselling theory in practice - a guide for students of counselling Written in easy-to-understand language Counselling theory brought to life- Includes practical examples not covered in academic textbooks or counselling training Packed with concise, invaluable and realistic information for anyone considering, studying, or already in the field of counselling The journey to become a counsellor can be bumpy. You may find yourself experiencing situations that your counselling course has not prepared you for, such as finding a placement, or how to transition from practicing skills with a peer in the classroom to working with real-life clients in a therapeutic setting. This book shines a light into the unknown, filling the gap between what you learn in class and what you will experience in the real world of counselling. Years of classed based teaching, combined with my personal experience as a practicing counsellor and supervisor, form the foundations of this book. I offer practical observations and direct responses to the thousands of questions I have been asked through the years of running our website, counsellingtutor.com, our academic library “The Counselling Study Resource,” and our weekly podcast aptly named The Counselling Tutor Podcast. It is my hope that it answers your questions and help ease your counselling journey - Rory Lees-Oakes
