Book Description: What is the experience of counselling from the perspective of the client? How does a counsellor experience the counselling role? What can be learned for the practice of counselling from an understanding of how it feels to be a client or a counsellor? Transcending different counselling approaches and aimed at counsellor trainers and their trainees, Experiences of Counselling in Action addresses these important questions. Central to this book are the personal accounts of individual clients and counsellors, who each relate their own very different experiences of counselling. They explore such issues as identity, expectations, trust, power and boundaries in the client counsellor relationship. And each examines the intense personal meanings of success' or failure' in the client or counsellor role. Dave Mearns and Windy Dryden conclude the book with a thoughtful and stimulating analysis of the key themes which have emerged from these experiences, and their implications for the counselling process. Other studies of client and counsellor experiences are also reviewed.Always accessible, often moving, this book offers important insights into a crucial dimension of counselling in action which, despite its clear significance, is rarely addressed in the counselling literature.
