This book introduces Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD), an evidence-based and NICE recommended therapy for depression available within the UK National Health Service (NHS). The book provides: - The knowledge base needed to work with this model. - A step-by-step guide to the core competencies and skills applied to the phases of therapy. - In-depth case studies illustrating the model in practice. - The evidence-base supporting this model. - Additional content on training, supervision and recent developments in PCE-CfD. It is vital reading for those taking PCE-CfD Practitioner training to achieve the licensing necessary to work within the NHS counselling workforce, for those on broader counselling and psychotherapy courses, and for researchers and practitioners working or wishing to work, within the NHS workforce.

Industry Reviews

For multiple reasons, I think this is an important book. It is both a labour of love and a labour of political necessity: The authors share a deep love for person-centred-experiential psychotherapy, grounded in decades-long experience as counsellors, trainers and scholars. They also recognize the importance of dialog and engagement with medicalized mental health care in the UK and elsewhere, arising out of the challenges of the recent past and speaking to the present moment across the current array of humanistic-experiential psychotherapies. I see a real shift in this book toward a more balanced consideration of the role of process-facilitation in PCE-CfD, underscoring the continuity between a more traditional person-centred approach and related approaches like Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). That the authors were able to achieve this hard-won bridge-building bodes well for the future of humanistic-experiential psychotherapies in general. -- Robert Elliott Throughout their updated third edition, Murphy and Pearce help Counselling for Depression (PCECfD) practitioners navigate the complex tensions between person-centred values and their manualised, evidence-based approach to treating depression in medical settings. With a strong emphasis on practice, this book will be an essential read for both trainees and qualified PCECfD counsellors who want to develop and enhance the competences required for offering PCECfD in the NHS and beyond. -- Nicola Blunden
