Therapy via the internet is a developing field for counsellors. This accessible guide focuses on technological and therapeutic aspects of online work, relevant across all counselling approaches. With practical step-by-step exercises and jargon-free advice, this is an indispensable tool for all practitioners and trainees planning to work online.

Working in private, independent practice is not an easy option when compared to regular paid employment. The challenges and risks are in fact arguably greater, and the skills required to be successful are considerably broader and are not taught as part of one’s training. This compact textbook offers the trainee and beginning practitioner all the hands-on advice and support they could wish for in successfully planning, setting up and running their own practice.Whether setting up your own independent practice, or an experienced practitioner reflecting on what is required to maintain a professional and ethical independent practice, this is the perfect guide to embarking on this extraordinary and rewarding journey. An in-depth and practical guide to working independently, this is an indispensable tool for both counselling and psychotherapy trainees considering their career options post-qualification, and established practitioners looking to refine their practice and revisit their skills in light of changing ambitions and circumstances.

Grim Agents of Cosmic Forces...In the early twentieth century, legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft described an ancient tome as "the unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred...a book which I had never seen, but of which I had heard monstrous things whispered." In the early twenty-first century, best-selling author Donald Tyson wove the myriad rumors and whispers of Lovecraft's dread grimoire into the epic fantasy novels Necronomicon and Alhazred. Intended as a trilogy, this tarot completes Tyson's formidable work.The Necronomicon Tarot brings the phantasmagoric desert wanderings of Alhazred to life in a stunningly visceral deck and companion book. Seventy-eight captivating illustrations by fantasy artist Anne Stokes capture the mythic and monstrous world of Tyson's Necronomicon while remaining true to the underlying structure and tradition of tarot. Prepare to enter a world where the accursed and tormented poet wanders in search of the greatest and darkest magic—divination with the dead.This kit includes 78-card tarot deck and 240-page companion tarot book.Click here to view the artwork of The Necronomicon Tarot.

This book considers a range of aspects of online supervision and is suitable for therapists who already offer this means of delivering supervision as well as those who may be curious about it. As online therapy becomes more mainstream, the importance of using a means of supervision which parallels this is increasingly being recognised by practitioners and the professional bodies. To date, very little has been written about this newly developing way of working. Online Supervision covers a wide range of issues, from the practical aspects of how it happens, through research, legal and ethical issues to specific therapeutic settings and issues. Existing models of supervision are considered in the context of the online setting and some new models which have been developed for specifically for supervising online are explored. All chapters are authored by experienced online therapists and supervisors, who bring their considerable knowledge from their practice to illuminate this growing area of the profession. While the book aims to develop the practice of online supervision, it is recognised that there are circumstances which mean that some practitioners may choose to engage in online supervision of their face-to-face work. This is recognised and so guidelines for offering and engaging in online supervision are discussed. Many practitioners begin to offer online supervision without specialised training and the final chapter centres on a discussion about the value and necessity of undertaking preparation for working in a new medium. Above all, the work aims to be readable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and newcomers to this field.
