Reviews for Working with Client Experiences of Domestic Abuse: A Handbook for Counsellors, Psychotherapists, and Other Mental Health Professionals

‘This book is an invaluable resource to therapeutic practitioners wanting to understand more about working with domestic abuse. The book draws on an impressive wealth of practice experience and research evidence. Grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centred and relationship-focused lens, Jeannette and contributing authors engage deeply with the complexity of working with this client group, offering practical strategies, self-reflection exercises, and theoretical insights that will support therapists to develop their practice and understand more about domestic abuse.’ Tanya Beetham, PhD, is a lecturer in Psychology and Counselling at The Open University. She is a counsellor/psychotherapist with research expertise in domestic abuse. ‘This book is a well-researched and accessibly written guide to working with domestic abuse, which addresses a range of theoretical and professional perspectives. Readers are encouraged to discern whether they are suited to domestic abuse as a specialism and to this approach to the work. A valuable resource for any practitioner.’ Nikki Dhillon Keane is the author of the BACP guidance Working with Domestic Abuse in the Counselling Professions and Domestic Abuse in Church Communities (rpbooks.co.uk) and founder of Safe in Faith and cofounder of the Faith and VAWG Coalition.
