become a therapist

Its possible that I’m halfway through my qualification. Just need a little more professional development :-)

I think I’m doing the right things, but its hard to know the career path in the UK. Anyone have any ideas?

I am leaning towards becoming a therapist after high school.

that this is an actual goal. Something related to this will probably be a goal down the line, but not for now…

i don’t want to get a psychology degree, nor do i care if insurance will pay for people to come to me. i would not be in it for the money. the only thing is i don’t know if you can be a counselor without training from some kind of accredited institution. just open your own practice? don’t you have to have some kind of license? maybe someone has some thoughts about this?

After entering High School I wanted to become a therapist. I was the unofficial therapist for my friends and their friends because I had been through many similar problems. Now all I need is the schooling to become a real therapist, which is what I want to do. I want to help people through their problems. I want to be the person they can call at any time, day or night, to help them.

I’ve decided to pursue a career in acupuncture instead!

I remember whe i was young i was the person that if friends were in fights i wouldnt pick either side instead i would take tim out of recess to run bck and forth between groups and figure out what was going on i always figured it out in the end i wass also always the girl that the “new girl” would turn to to be her first friend i have never let anyone wear a frown on their face and when they do i always find out why!! i am a very big people person and always have been i think outside of the box and i dont judge people even if they judge me first
like i said i have always solved the fights and never gotten in them
but now that i am in highschool its more physical fights than arguments so its way harder for me to “show off my skillz(lol)” :( :)
but that is why i am so sure about being a childrens therapist

I am just starting highschool and i have had a couple of career switches and i really want to be a child therapist:
because when my only grandpa passed away and one of my two grandmas died and the other was diagnosed with cancer i was only seven and it all overwhelmed me so my parents took me to see a child therapist her name was annette and she was wonderfull she helped me through it all that was 7or8 years ago and now i look back on it and i can still remember her and some of our sessions like one of our first sessions she had me draw a picture of anything i wanted and i drew both my grandmas my grandpa my mom my dad me and my brother and my two cats and my granddmas dog that had all passed away. now that would have been the end of it i thought but then she blew up a balloon took me outside and we sent it to heaven!
throughout our sessions she held me while i cried and explained things to me we became very good friends well our last session came and we walked around a small pond type thing behind the building talking and laughing and for the first time i was laughing wheen my parents picked me up they were so happy!
and that is why i want to go to college to become a child therapist!!

I have always been a caring person and don’t feel this side of me is expressed in my current line of work.

I have had quite a few therapists over the years, and they have helped me become a stronger and better person, and for this I thank them all deeply.

I now want to help others as people have helped me, the wheel is turning :o)
