Using a psychodynamic approach, From Counselling Skills to Counsellor aims to help trainees progress successfully from one stage to the next, becoming safer, more insightful practitioners. Core psychodynamic concepts are explored, in an accessible way, using illustrative case study examples. The book may stimulate the thinking and creative work of practitioners from other disciplines.
