Description
Person-Centred Counselling in Action (Fourth Edition) is a comprehensive guide that explores the person-centred approach to therapy, a transformative method that emphasizes the client-therapist relationship, empathy, and genuine presence. Written by Dave Mearns, Brian Thorne, and John McLeod, this updated edition provides new insights, tools, and examples that build on the previous editions, offering a wealth of information for both students and practicing therapists.
Person-centred therapy focuses on creating an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and valued, allowing for self-discovery and healing. In this book, the authors delve into how therapists can apply core concepts such as unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence to foster an open, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. With practical exercises, case studies, and real-world examples, the book provides a thorough understanding of the approach’s practical application.
The fourth edition also includes updated perspectives on contemporary challenges in therapy, such as the integration of technology in counselling, cultural diversity, and the evolving needs of clients. Mearns, Thorne, and McLeod guide readers in understanding how person-centred techniques can be adapted and applied in different settings, including individual therapy, group therapy, and online therapy. The new material expands on self-awareness and personal growth in the therapeutic process, making it a highly relevant and practical resource for today’s therapists.
Whether you are just beginning your journey in counselling or seeking to deepen your practice, this book remains a vital resource in person-centred counselling education and professional development.
