Students and lecturers have been waiting for a text like this which is thorough and thoughtfully put together. It synthesises theory and practice in way that is readable and applicable to CYP counselling work in the real world.

I welcome this important new guide for practitioners, which builds on the BACP’s Competences for humanistic counselling with young people (11-18 years) (BACP, 2014) to support counsellors to develop effective, ethical and evidence-based practice with children and young people.

 

A comprehensive, accessible and contemporary guide to counselling practice with young people. The book addresses a range of issues that have become essential to the field, including cultural competence, the use of measures, and working across contexts and agencies.

Rebecca's book is a 'must have' for all therapists working with young people. It is comprehensive and contains the answers to everything that you might wonder about when working in this field - development; theory and practice; professional and practice issues; context and settings.

If you work therapeutically with children and young people, you need to read this book.
