I've been getting so many questions and dm's on insta about counselling, so I made a part 2 that will hopefully help you more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frZifZR2mt7Ld6c.html

Finally someone I can relate to! This is the first video I found really clear, really glad I found your channel ❤

This video is so informative and time saving for those considering counselling 👏🏾❤️

Hey cee! Such a great and informative video - thank you so much!

Thank you for your videos. It really helped me with my decision. I couldn’t go to uni at the time due to personal reasons but the diploma route has helped so much. Thank you 🎉❤

Thank you so much for this video. I have just began my journey to becoming a counsellor for similar reasons as you. I am a teacher. I have been putting this off for so long just because of the amount of time it will take. I am starting my level 2 now.

Hey girl, just found your channel. I’m starting my masters in october in counselling & psychotherapy. I agree with you that there arent enough ethnic minorities joining counselling and it is nice to see more of us spreading the word and training to become counsellors. It is a long and expensive process but such an exciting one right? my heart also lies in counselling and psychology i can’t see myself doing anythig else. I can’t wait to see your journey and your growth as a counsellor. New sub here❤️

I’ve just found this video! I want to be a psychotherapist, still on the pre clinical course but hoping to start the clinical training in the next few years - ideally in September. I am the only south Asian on my course and also one of the youngest (25). This video was really informative, thank you xx

Gurl, thank you!!!

Hey Cee, I just started level three CPCAB got one more year before I become a trainee. Great channel, good to see another black woman venturing into this field.

Glad to see more therapists coming to use KZfaq as a way to educate :)

Excellent summary!

Hi first of all i love your hair 😍. I have done level 3 in counselling but they dont offer level 4 in my area so im wondering if i should do a degree then do a masters? Im just a bit confused about where i need to go from here. Ill definitely check out the rest of the videos on your channel x

I am happy to see this. I am white. Once I asked the question in an online group of psychoanalysts why there weren't any Black therapists in one specific field of therapy. And nobody replied, silence followed. I have been in therapy and I had this image in my mind that I wanted a Black therapist, someone full of life and with a loud laughter, also warm and accepting.

Hello Cee thank you for these videos they’re great and very informative! I have my Level 3 in counselling and I was looking to go to university. I know most people recommend doing the level 4 and then pricgress onto 4,5 and then supervision training. I’ve seen you’ve stated that if you have your level 3 you can do your masters however, I have seen on the entry requirements that you need an undergraduate first. Should I just go to uni then.

I enjoyed this very much.

@ceethecounsellor thanks for the video. Do you know and can you pls share any info on how one can get a sponsored training to have a masters in counselling and psychotherapy in the UK? Especially couples counselling and therapy. Thanks

Hey Cee! I’m just wondering if it’s possible to skip L1 and start on L2 Certificate in counselling skills? I’ve found a college that is offering for me to join on L2 but I don’t want to go for it if I HAVE to do L1 first. Thank you! X

Hello Cee ! So grateful I found you on KZfaq , I would like to ask if I do a MSC psychology conversation will I be qualified or do I have to continue with a doctorate in counseling/psychotherapy.?❤

I’m on the same journey as yourself but doing Level 3 currently.

Hey Cee! I have just found your channel, and your videos have been incredibly helpful to learn more about choosing counselling as a career. I desperately want a career change, and I would love to become an accredited counsellor in the UK, but I’m not sure if I will have the chance to, as I’m moving abroad in the New Year. I wasn’t able to find an answer anywhere, so I’m hoping you could please help me with some advice: I’m not sure what would make more sense, pursuing a 2-ys MSc Psychology conversion course to get a BPS graduate membership, or enrolling onto a Level 2 Diploma in Counselling? I am looking for courses that are part time and online, due to the fact that I’m working full time, and I will leave the UK in 2024.. and as far as I know, there are no Level 4 Counselling courses that are online and accredited 😢 Do you think I still stand a chance of ever becoming an accredited counsellor in the UK, with any membership, if I won’t be able to attend courses in person, or should I give up my dream? Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it!

Hello I'm quite late since the video was posted haha but hoped you could still provide me with some guidance. I'm currently an alevel student and will be hoping to apply for either a BA course for psychology or psychology with counseling and wanted to know if you think there's a large difference between the 2 or if the latter is more undermined.

Hi Cee! Love your video. Where did you take your 'Introduction to counselling' course? Could you recommend any? I am searching but lots of different results are coming up and it's difficult to see which are worthwhile. Is this a type of course I could do online?

Thanks for the video! Do you know if you can go onto a psychotherapy masters without the Level 2/3 certificate if you have a degree in Psychology?

Hey, great video! Can I just clarify, so you said most unis don't except level 4... so I can do a level 3 at home and then go onto a masters? X

Thank you for this informative video. I hope you’re able to offer some advice. I completed a degree in sociology and postgraduate diploma in social work. I current practice as a frontline child protection SW and I would like to become a counsellor. What do you think would be the best route for me ?

Hi Cee! Thank you for this great summary. I am looking at budgets and time commitments. You mentioned you go in 1 day a week. Do you manage to do all the course work (lectures, assessments, therapy) in 1 long day/week? I am guessing it's possible for year 1, but with placement in further years, the course will require more like 2 days a week total? You also mentioned you work in a hospital setting. Do you work part-time or full time? How do you manage and do you have weekends free? I am wondering if I'd be able to survive mentally and physically, working full time for 4 long days a week alongside the course. And any weekend days left for rest? Appreciate your time, let me know if you'd prefer me to email those questions. Thank you! Natalia

Hi lovely! Just found your channel and i love your videos ❤. I've just started my L2 Counselling Skills, hoping to go all the way to L4 to qualify as a counsellor. What worries me though, is the lack of vacancies available for counsellors. In your experience to date, is it difficult to secure a job once qualified? Xxx

Hi, thank you so much for your video ! Could I pleas just double check , would I definitely need masters to be employed or having level 4 certificate would qualify me to work? Thanks so much 🙏

Just come across your video. It’s really helpful. I am considering counselling. But doing it online. Can you just do one course and become qualified counsellor?

Hey Cee I’m from the UK and I have a passion for counselling. I wanted to know that if I have no previous qualifications within my studies, is there a quick way I can study to become a counsellor rather then going the long route. In 2021 I completed the introduction course which was a combine of level 1 & 2. Although now I need to complete level 3 which is one year and then after the diploma which is two. Lastly the counselling degree which is either two or three year. Overall if I’m studying that long it will take me about 5 - 6 years to complete. However I’ve tried to find a quicker route than that but no luck so far. I would love to get your advice and help on this as I’m not sure on my options.

Thank you for this video!🥰 I am a PWP and consider becoming a counsellor. Are they considered different careers? Is there a short cut or l still need to go through the level 3 diploma and masters to become qualified? Also what is the difference between qualified and accredited counsellor?

Hi, thank you for this. I’ve done the level 3 and am currently looking to do the level 4. Do you think it’s better to go to university instead of doing the level 4? I was thinking of doing the level 4 and then topping up with level 5.

Hey, I’m really interested in this and want to be a counsellor thank you for explaining it, it can be so confusing! I was just wondering where would you think of working after you have your degree?

Hi Cee! This video is great. I just have one question: I have a BA Hons in Criminology, should I do a Psychology MSc conversion course first? Or would that be kind of pointless since I’d have to do the introduction to counselling etc steps anyway? Thanks!

Hello, Thank you for the video. I am considering an offer for an unaccredited MSc Counselling programme with no placement options (BSc Psychology). Is this any good? What can I do while studying to improve my chances of getting a job on completion?

I am currently about to do a level 5 course in counselling which is accredited by BCAP? I wanted to know is this enough be a counsellor in the UK or do I need to go onto doing a master ?

Thank you so much for this. Could yoo if y advise how much Counsellors are paid in the UK? Is it a well paying field and how easy is it to obtain employment upon completion of your degree?

Hi Cee, I've got Level 2 but now I'm hesitating whether to continue part time in college (4 years to get to Level 5) or go to uni and do full time BA in counselling (3 years to BA). Any advice which one would be better?

Hi, I'm currently doing a access course in health social care. I want to become a play therapist I've done research but not having luck on how I can become one in the uk. Can you advise me on how I can get on to this pathway ?

Hey, can you send me a breakdown on the steps I need to take to become a anxiety and depression therapist 🙏

hi could you do a video how to get a counselling job as a graduate , or what you would do if you only had your graduate degree ( I know you have done a master which might be a ,little different I guess).

Hey Cee. This was super helpful. I just wanted to understand one thing - is it absolutely necessary to do the masters after the Level 4 certification? Or can you do something else like an apprenticeship program of sorts instead? Just asking since doing the masters will just mean more student debt. Would be super helpful if you could answer this because it has been chaotic navigating this process as an international student. Thank you 😊😊

Could you guide me regarding this field i am planning to become

So you need to do a level 2, level 3 and level 4 diploma, then a degree and then a masters degree ?

I have a question and hope you can help me. I am in a master's program for clinical mental health counseling in the United States. Eventually, I want to relocate to the UK and work as a counselor. Is that a possibility? If so, what are the requirements and steps to be able to work in the UK as an expat? Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Cee , am having masters of Philosophy in Guidance and Counselling. So please where do i start from to become a counsellor in uk. Thnx u

Hi Cee, I am currently studying a Level 3 diploma in Counselling, I am not too sure whether to study an undergraduate psychology or counselling with psychotherapy degree I haven't got long to decide and I am feeling rather overwhelmed with the options and choices I have available, any advice will be very much appreciated 😊

What about doing a degree in counselling and psychotherapy?

How long it will take me to become qualified Councellor and do I need to do master after degree ?

Hi, I was wondering after completing a masters would you be a qualified counsellor/therapist? Also would a diploma in counselling and psychotherapy get you the same qualification as a masters to become a counsellor/therapist?

Hi. Why do people do masters in counselling when you can do a undergraduate in it. I'm abit confused by it all. If someone is doing masters can they further in a career and so what areas. Thank you

Hii, Do I have to take a license exam to become an accredited therapist in the uk? If I've done the BA in Psychology + Level 3 + Master, will it probably be 8 years?
