This popular book was the first UK published book on the use of counselling skills on the telephone and telephone counselling, written by an author well-known for his direct and accessible style. The second edition looked at research into counselling on the telephone, presented the story of a real-life agency and considered the impact of technology such as caller identification and freephone numbers on helping agencies. This revised and extended third edition brings this useful book up to date by including a chapter on computer-mediated communication (email and internet helping). Essentially this is a how-to-do-it book and Pete Sanders doesn't disappoint.

Review of the third edition
[A] comprehensive and detailed guide to counselling on the telephone, addressing the central issues relevant to providing counselling using non-traditional methods ... a stimulating book. Alexander Meredith, Therapy Today, February 2009.
Pete Sanders worked as a volunteer at ‘Off The Record’, Newcastle-upon Tyne, in 1972 before completing a degree in psychology at the university there, and then the postgraduate diploma in counselling at Aston University. He practised as a counsellor, educator and clinical supervisor for more than 30 years, and published widely on many aspects of counselling, psychotherapy and mental health, as well as co-founding PCCS Books in 1993. After practising and teaching counselling, he continued to have an active interest in developing person-centred theory, the politics of counselling and psychotherapy, and the demedicalisation of distress. He died in February 2022.
