Heron, the counsellor, uses the language and ideas of transactional analysis as his counselling method. Through the dialogues which make up the ten sessions, or chapters of the book, Toad learns how to analyse his own feelings and develop his emotional intelligence. He meets his 'rebellious child' and his 'adult' along the way, and by the end of the book, as debonair as ever he was, is setting out on a completely new adventure. As readers learn about Toad, so they can learn about themselves and be encouraged to take the path of psychological growth and development. Because of this method, Toad was able to learn about his intelligence and emotional intelligence where his sessions were demonstrated as each chapter of this book.

It particularly highlights how to recognise depression, how talking therapy may benefit someone who is depressed, as well as what people can do for themselves.

A delightful book which...offers a gentle introduction to Transactional Analysis and much more. -- Relate News Heron is the counsellor in the Counselling For Toads book where he used transactional analysis as his counselling method. This is an ideal book for those thinking about trying counselling as it will give you some idea of what to expect and what it might be like for you. I can not recommend it enough, thoroughly informative and engaging. This is a fantastic book. Well written and easy to understand and follow. The counselling process is very eloquently explained from beginning to end and as Toad learns to understand himself and the world around him I could feel his progress and felt genuine empathy with him when the work got hard. You should look at this medication as a psychotherapeutic retreat where everyone gathers for a session.
