Thinking of starting a course in this , with aim of becoming a counsellor- seems lots of options and accreditation www.iacp.ie Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Part of the iacp accreditation is you need to work up client hours for your diploma. This can be difficult to do if you need to source your own clients, so check out how they manage this. Earning a decent living from this is not easy either, and it requires on-going training, so you will need to fund this yourself normally. Don't want to put you off, the course can be great, but be aware of what it involves.
