Just curious if anyone has any pointers 
I have a BTEC Level 2 diploma in H&SC that I've been sitting on for a couple of years now. I don't want to work in residential care - I've done that before and I struggled with the personal care - but through that I learned how much I enjoy approving a person's quality of life. Now I fancy getting into the therapy/counselling side, but I'm not sure how apart from volunteering - there's a few general local places that deal with lots of issues like homelessness & substance abuse.
Can anyone point me in the direction of national charities or courses that are readily available please? |

My advice would be look at local educational settings and see if they have any courses but as I understand it you also need to be volunteering alongside the course too. I guess it also depends on the area you want to work in as it's such a broad field from a general counsellor through to becoming a psychotherapist. Good luck with it |

Yeah, there's a local adult education centre that does a massive variety of classes that I plan to look into. |
