Everything You Wanted to Know About Counselling But Were Too Upset to Ask : The Essential Guide to Therapy

Counselling has become a booming industry, with over 200 styles of mainstream counselling and psychotherapy currently available.

Furthermore, if you take into account that there are some maverick practitioners around and that media images of counsellors are often misleading (think Frasier and Ally McBeal), choosing a counsellor begins to resemble negotiating a minefield.

In Everything You Wanted To Know About Counselling But Were Too Upset To Ask, Phillip Hodson explains what you should expect from counselling and psychotherapy and gives concise information about the many different approaches available.

He provides practical advice on issues such as confidentiality, average costs, how to find a therapist, what to do if you are unhappy with your therapist, counselling and the Internet and ensuring that your counsellor is accredited.

This book will also act as a reference bible, containing many useful contact details and addresses.
