Description
Living Well and Dying Well: A Counsellor's Stories with Older People. This book brings to life the often-overlooked world of counselling older people, sharing powerful case studies from Helen Kewell's practice as a counsellor. Through her personal reflections and insights into influential theoretical approaches, Kewell sheds light on the complexities of working with this population. The stories of individuals such as Maggie, Kate, Bobby, Susan, and Tom offer a poignant exploration of human experience in later life. Kewell's aim is to inspire others to consider counselling older people as a vital and meaningful area of work. By sharing her experiences and those of her clients, she hopes to promote greater understanding and empathy for this often-marginalized group. This book provides a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities of working with older adults, and is an essential read for counsellors, social care professionals, and anyone interested in ageing and human development.
