Thank you for this, I’m starting my training to become a counsellor. I’m in the West Midlands so I’m hoping I will be able to find jobs available. I’m not currently interested in starting a private practice but to work in fields such as CAMHS or a school counsellor.
You’re welcome, and thank you for watching! I think there will be plenty of jobs in schools and CAMHS, the demand is really high in CAMHS and more schools are hiring counsellors now. I think I will try to get a job in a school too. I wish you the best in your training della!
Hi. Very good video. Well done. Very informative for someone like me, whose just started a counselling basics L2 as a new profession in mid 40s. These are exactly the kind of questions I had in mind and you've covered them very well.
I'm a graphic designer debating starting training to become a counsellor. I'm worried about whether I am jumping from one bad industry to another. This video was helpful.
No it’s not, a lot of people come into counselling from a wide variety of careers. You can study counselling on the side while maintaining your current career and you can see if it’s for you without having to drop your job. The classes are usually once a week, and for a few months so it won’t put too much demand on you. Thank you for watching, glad you found the video helpful!
Wow I'm also a former Graphic Designer thanks to AI. Now on the path to becoming a counsellor. Interesting to see other Graphic Designers becoming Counsellors! But I am concerned there isn't a lot of Counselling jobs when I look on Job Boards. It is in demand but are the jobs there?
You're welcome! I have a video on the difference between being accredited and registered as a therapist here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZzXuOyZgJ5M.html But if you would like a video about course accreditation, then no, I don't have one but I can certainly do one soon.
For the remote CBT job ad, would it be still worth applying if you are not a BABCP reg? If you were BACp memeber but your approach and modalities were CBT to your clients. Would that be enough. Thanks
I’m not sure, they might be okay with it if you have a LOT of client experience using CBT but it would help if you were registered or going to be registered very soon because they want someone accredited or working towards accreditation which is 450 client hours. Wish you the best!
Hi to be a cbt therapist you need a post graduate degree from a university in cbt. To get onto this course you need to be a fully qualified and registered counsellor with the bacp or NCS. You can't apply for cbt jobs without a cbt postgraduate degree 😊
Thank you very much, appreciate it! I don't know anything much about PR but i'm sure you could find some guidance here www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/settle-in-the-uk Sorry, I couldn't offer more help.
