Description

It also invokes the power of relationships to empower and construct change. Issues of the use of counselling skills are looked at within the context, processes and principles of the provision of professional support. The book takes a reflective practitioner approach and provides individual and group activities to help the reader relate the ideas discussed in the book to themselves, their practice and the particular context of their work. The book draws on and explores a wide range of personal and formal perspectives, including the clients' viewpoint, to enhance reflection on enabling relationships.
