Emotion-Focused Work: A Pocketbook of Protocols is a practical guide for practitioners working within the Emotion-Focused approach to counselling and psychotherapy. Drawing on more than two decades of clinical experience, Michelle A. Webster presents a clear set of protocols designed to support practitioners in their day-to-day work with clients. These structured guides outline the key stages of therapeutic sessions, from initial engagement and information gathering through to a wide range of interventions that help clients explore and process emotional experience.
The protocols cover individual counselling, psychotherapy and couple work, offering practical frameworks for working with issues such as emotional awareness, inner child work, visualisation techniques, chair work, regression, and relationship dynamics.
Designed as a desk reference for practitioners, this pocketbook provides clear step-by-step outlines that can assist therapists in maintaining structure while remaining responsive to each client's unique emotional process.
Concise, accessible and grounded in clinical practice, Emotion-Focused Work is an invaluable companion for counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees seeking practical guidance in applying the Emotion-Focused approach.
