ABSTRACT
The purpose of this book is to describe how people seeking counselling can be helped to solve their problems. For clients, this process of finding successful solutions to problems should also lead to enhanced self-understanding and an increased ability to find solutions to other problems in the future. The term counselling is employed here to cover the various skills and principles of helping used in this process. Although the skills and principles that follow are described within a face-to-face relationship between two or more people (counsellor and client(s)), it is recognised that the essentials of individual counselling are directly applicable to other settings as well.
