Helpful Resources for Counselling Clients

The British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists have their own website and also run the "its good to talk" webiste. I am a member of the BACP.

Just CLICK HERE to visit the "It's good to talk" website. Many clients find this helpful with information about what therapy is and how to search for a therapist. Just CLICK HERE to visit the BACP website which also has helpful information about finding a therapist.

Why not CLICK HERE to visit the Counselling Directory website which is another highly useful resource for clients.

Some books that clients have found helpful:

  • "Brilliant Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" by Dr Stephen Briers (Very practical exercises to work through)
  • "The Upward Spiral" by Alex Korb (A must read to understand the science of the brain and tips on how to manage it when we are feeling low, stressed, anxious or suffering from depression)
  • OCD Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Related Depression (Pulling the Trigger) by Adam Shaw and Laura Callaghan (Simple, practical)
  • "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie (Old fashioned in style but good content)
  • "Taming the Black Dog" by Patrick Elverton (Very practical workshop. Simple and easy to read).
