Counselling older people: information for practitioners and policy makers
By Andy Hill (2006)

The purpose of this information sheet is to provide practitioners and policy makers with a brief summary of recent research into counselling with older people. The intention is to inform counselling practice and to help shape therapeutic services for older people using research findings as guiding principles. The information presented is derived from a systematic review of research into counselling older people which included studies published between 1985 and 2004 (Hill and Brettle, 2004).¹
