`Conveys valuable information... Paul Wilkins writes well... With the current emphasis by accrediting counselling organizations on the importance of ongoing personal and professional development, this book would be a salutary place to start on such a journey... The book explores what is meant by "fit to practise" and highlights the need to provide a better service to those who seek the skills of a counsellor. With the increasing emphasis on the need for better praxis in the field, it is vital that counsellors practise what they preach.
A useful text to support students in understanding the importance of personal and professional development
Wilkins explains the reasoning behind Personal and Professional Development for trainees and qualified counsellors alike. In my experience this is a common question throughout the training.
Although the book is well written and structure it lack practical guidelines on how to implement much of the theory. It is a useful book it terms of perhaps mental health and wellbeing, but fell short for the purposes of ‘Personal Development Plans’ (PDP) now being rolled out across the UK in Higher Educational Institutions and other tertiary education.
