Abstract

This handbook is a companion for all counselling psychology, psychotherapy and counselling trainees. It will support and guide you as you embark upon your own professional training journey, be that at a foundational or advanced academic level. You are invited to dip in, explore and travel at your own pace throughout the chapters, in an order that supports your own personal, professional, programme or developmental journey. The handbook simplifies, demystifies and explains complex concepts and language, and addresses issues commonly faced by many trainees. Chapters are organised in three sections covering 'the firm foundations', 'the trainee journey', and 'becoming a practitioner and beyond'. Each chapter follows a common structure: an introduction, scope of chapter, exercises or case studies, top takeaways, questions for reflection, recommended reading and key resources for your own further exploration. The exercises and reflective questions are tailored throughout the book to be used independently by trainees, or collectively in the classroom. They can also be used as teaching aids, or as tools to facilitate dialogue and best practice in the therapeutic professions. Chapters are written by educators, therapeutic practitioners, researchers, academic writers, trainees and supervisors, whose diverse and yet collective voices bring many insights and provocations.
