Description
A New Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy by Mamood Ahmad offers a fresh perspective on contemporary therapeutic practice. This essential text integrates context, diversity, and equity throughout, recognizing that effective counselling must acknowledge and address the complexities of clients’ social, cultural, and environmental circumstances.
The book provides foundational knowledge for both students and practitioners seeking to develop culturally-competent therapeutic skills. Ahmad emphasizes the importance of understanding how factors such as ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and lived experiences shape the therapeutic relationship and client outcomes. Through practical frameworks and reflective exercises, readers learn to examine their own biases and develop more inclusive practice.
Published by Routledge, this introduction equips mental health professionals with the tools to deliver equitable, person-centered care that respects diversity and acknowledges structural inequalities affecting client wellbeing.
