Dr Val Watson, independent counselling and psychotherapy practitioner, supervisor, coach, consultant and trainer. He is a white man and is fully aware of his power compared to the rest of the planet and this is what truly made a difference for me.

I am starting a CPCAB level 2 in October and this was the final book I needed to read to complete the course reading list. With over 100, 000 copies sold, First Steps in Counselling remains the text of choice for both students and tutors participating in introductory courses. Pete Sanders, Paula J Williams and Andy Rogers position counselling in contemporary society and render the theory, practice and origins of counselling understandable to all.

ELCs provide a financial contribution towards a first full Level 3 qualification (Certificates and Diplomas), a first Foundation Degree, a first full undergraduate degree or national equivalents. This well-timed update reflects this, bringing into view issues such as how we valorise the different models and approaches, how an intersectional approach to counselling brings into focus issues of power, and also, in a more subtle way, the relevance of the political to the world of counselling. The authors have that rare gift of being able to make the complicated straightforward to understand, whilst maintaining its impact and instruction. This textbook is the second edition of the follow-on to First Steps in Counselling – the first edition has been a bestseller every year for twelve years.Intended as a support for tutors and a companion for course participants, the text emphasises personal development and good practice, and can be used with confidence as a focus for training or a supplement to it. You will then be invoiced for the remaining fee and provided with information on taking the instalment option where applicable.
