Want to improve your practical counselling skills?

Need to help a loved one cope with a traumatic event?

In this guide Jimmy looks to specifically prepare lay-counsellors, nurses, teachers, parents and other caregivers with the necessary tools to manage difficult situations when dealing with a victim of a traumatic event.

It is completely normal for an inexperienced counsellor to get completely lost or so entangled that it becomes difficult to effectively counsel a victim of trauma. Jimmy believes that part of the problem is due to the unstructured nature of counselling content currently in the market. This guide was written specially for the person looking for effective tips and advice gleaned from years spent in the field. It helps those of you new to the topic easily follow specific counselling patterns based on what you observe. The guide also makes use of practical examples of traumatic situations or case studies to highlight how the skills should be applied in the real world.
