Counselling for Toads - Robert De Board

I brought this book having developed an interest in counselling.
Having been in counselling myself for over 2 years I felt that I would like to look further into the skills and practices involved with a veiw to studying it further.

Am very pleased I read this book as it covers a whole range of topics.

The story follows the traditional Wind in the Willows characters, Toad and fellows.
Toads fellows are worried he may do something silly and so take him to The Heronry to meet Heron , the counsellor. The book follows Toads journey through counselling, froma suicidal toad to someone very happy and back on a "normal" track.

The sessions are given in chapters which make sit easy to follow and read giving a great insight into how counseling progresses and how the relationship between counsellor and patient evolves.

This is a fabulous book for anyone interestes in counselling, therapy or just a general interest in how the mind can and does work.

Totally recommended !!
