Islamic counselling is a form of counselling which incorporates spirituality into the therapeutic process. There has been little material available on the subject, with no one agreed definition of Islamic counselling and what it involves. This book presents a basic understanding of Islamic counselling for counsellors and Islamic counsellors, and provides an understanding of counselling approaches congruent with Islamic beliefs and practices from a faith-based perspective.
