Basic Personal Counselling (BPC) is a successful text that addresses communications units in Counselling and Community Services qualifications, both robust disciplines in the vocational market. The text is an easy to read introduction to counselling skills for both professional and volunteer counsellors, and workers in the helping professions. The Community Services training package is under review for all qualifications in the helping professions so the text will be revised to take in any major changes to the relevant units and to address market requirements. This edition of Basic Personal Counselling includes new content on self-care, the use of technology in counselling, provides a scaffolded and integrated approach to counselling skills and will be mapped against seven VET competency units. Student resources include eBook and learning resources available via their instructor.
