Self help & Counselling Reading List

Here I have listed just a small sample of some self help books which I and my clients have found particularly useful and enjoyable to read.

I wholeheartedly recommend self help books as a wonderful support and encouragement in hard times. They provided insight and reassurance helping us feel less alone in our troubles and the positive belief that we all have the power to change our lives almost can't fail to inspire!
