A very welcome updated edition of a core text.
A highly readable, well-structured and clear basic introduction to skills, applicable across the board. Great reference text for new trainees which includes everything the neophyte counsellor needs to know about ethical practice and context. An essential text for our year 1 students
This sixth edition of ‘Practical Counselling and Helping Skills’ is a formidable achievement. Its comprehensiveness, clarity of style and structure and its attention to the latest developments in the field make it an outstanding resource for experienced practitioners, trainers and trainees alike. What is more, Richard Nelson-Jones’ reflectiveness on his immense experience over many decades and in differing cultures gives the book a quality of generous inclusiveness which is rare in the counselling literature.
an easy to access work for level 5 students and is also useful to level 6 students for exam revision
This has proved a useful book so far in relation to case studies and activities for student involvement. Some of the concepts take the students to the next level of intereventions and in that respect have generated much discussion in class in relation to how theory is put into practice (or not in some cases).The book has been on loan to a number of students who have reported back positively.
Although considering this text for postgraduate students, I believe it to be a worthy companion at undergraduate level also, and shall be adopting it for first degree students also. It is written in accessible English, has clear case study applications of theory to practice and is clearly referenced so that students may locate topics easily. A great introduction!
Very useful addition to texts used on the course for midwives during genetic counselling in haemoglobinopathies.
Excellent resource for students
This book encourages students to look at generic counselling and helping skills. The case studies and practical exercises are used in class

This is an extremely good introduction to the process of using counselling skills. It provides a range of extremely helpful exercises by which the reader can assimilate and practice the techniques being recommended
Nelson-Jones presents a comprehensive book about counselling skills which enhances student skills practice
Good book for added research to the subject under discussion
too basic
Excellent book for level 2 and above. Very easy to read and understand. Would definitely recommend this book to my students.
Not appropriate for student level presently; will re-examine again in the future
This is an informative and comprehensive book, which provides robust links to practice.
