This book presents systemic psychotherapy to integrative counsellors by using the most common counselling modalities and turning them into systemic approaches.

|A Systemic Approach to Integrative Counselling teaches systemic theory and techniques gradually, delving into various ways for integrative counsellors to think from a systemic perspective, reframing a client's presenting problem as emerging from relationships and social context. The chapters discuss how to combine person-centred counselling with a systemic outlook, how to combine psychodynamic theory with ideas about circularity and relationships, and outlines ways to use cognitive-behavioural therapy, action techniques, drama techniques, gestalt therapy, and many counselling approaches systemically with individual clients. The author's conversational writing, accompanied with case studies and in-depth explanations of counselling techniques and theories, makes the material interactive and accessible.

A Systemic Approach to Integrative Counselling will provide qualified and trainee counsellors with an in-depth systemic outlook on counselling modalities. It is also a helpful guide for scholars and researchers in related fields.
