Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

For counsellors who define themselves as "person-centred" but who have had no substantial training, it should be compulsory reading′ - British Journal of Guidance & Counselling Person-centred counselling probably requires more training - and a greater intensity of training - than most other mainstream counselling approaches, but until now no one book has concentrated solely on the principles, practices and requirements of training person-centred counsellors.

Written expressly for both trainees and trainers, this book also extends and develops current thinking within the approach, and will be a valuable resource for all person-centred practitioners.
