`The book does provide an excellent resource offering a holistic and flexible approach and a variety of techniques. These provide a useful toolkit of practitioners working closely with young people. However its core readership is counsellors with young people.

Counselling Adolescents goes a good way towards filling that gap. It will be an effective support to the professional counselor working with young people. In fact many wonder how they functioned without it!′ - Youth & Policy `This book is a useful text for professionals with knowledge of counselling skills, and the ideas are well presented.
