Articles

These articles are aimed at the public, practicing counsellors and students from around the world.  I welcome your thoughts, ideas and general comments, so each article has a comment box at the end.  You do not have to register to leave a comment.  I aim to fully reference others' works where I can, and I ask that you do the same if reproducing my work, which is all copyrighted. A Harvard reference example is placed at the beginning of each article to help you.
