Phone Therapy: A Guide for Practitioners Working with Voice Alone

Phone therapy is as relevant as it was 50 years ago. The increased use  of this medium during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the revision of  professional therapy body guidance, has endorsed the validity and  effectiveness of phone therapy.

The book updates, revises and  reinvigorates the medium for individual therapists, counselling services  and training organisations in a post-lockdown world, where blended  therapy is the norm. It includes practical considerations, phone-related  theory, personal experience and self-reflection exercises. Contributing  counsellor vignettes cover topics such as adapting theoretical  modalities and EDI considerations without visual cues. From assessments,  contracting and core skills to assumptions, disinhibition and privacy  issues, it supports therapists and counselling organisations to embrace  the accessibility, flexibility and creativity that therapy by phone  provides.

Relevant for experienced and trainee therapists alike,  this book provides practitioners with the support and knowledge to  confidently use phone therapy in their practice.
