“L-Notes” is available from amazon.co.uk as a paperback (£10) or ebook (£6).

“L-Notes” (meaning “Learning Notes”) is a series of almost forty articles on a variety of aspects of the work of a guidance counsellor.  In our training we learn about counselling and guidance but this book offers many ideas on fleshing out the role across different aspects of school life, the complete age-span of our student population and the diversity of roles we have in a school.  There is a big emphasis on preventative and developmental activities, ways to improve the life of young people and to extend your own work throughout the school.
