IS THE COUNSELLING JOB MARKET FULL? | CEE THE TRAINEE COUNSELLOR

[@dellaporter4670]

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.

[@ceethecounsellor]

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!

[@holistikirsty3167]

Thanks for the info, I'm starting my level 2 soon and this has added to my motivation!

[@ceethecounsellor]

You’re very welcome! And all the best with your level 2 Kirsty! 🙌

[@holistikirsty3167]

@ceethecounsellor Thank you! 🙂

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.

[@ceethecounsellor]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment! Im glad it was helpful, if there’s any other topics you’d like me to cover, let me know

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.

[@ceethecounsellor]

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!

[@id_emotion]

Wow, same! I'm also a graphic designer considering a career change in counselling

[@BetterDaysAheadAreComing]

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?

Thank for this video, so helpful

I wonder if they also took online counselling into account in their statement. Care to share the statement?

[@ceethecounsellor]

In my opinion, I don’t think they took online counselling into account because there’s lots of opportunities to see clients online too

Please could we have a part 2 for this video ?.so sorry typing error

So just a part 2 on the job adverts?

Part 2 is up now kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp_Ci3uga9aDsJI 😊

[@98dannyj]

I think as long as there are people on this planet, this type of job is demanded everywhere. Mental health is worse than ever!

[@ceethecounsellor]

Yeahh i definitely agree with you there! The demand is increasing so much!

[@gia5695]

What I find is that a lot of Counsellors do not retire, unlike i.e. nursing when so many are joining yearly, but so many are also leaving/retiring, so there's always a need. I recently did a search on the BACP site for a CBT Counsellor within 5 miles radius of my address and there's about 40!!

[@ceethecounsellor]

Yeah I agree, there’s rarely a need to retire as as a counsellor as you get older if you’re in good health. 40 isn’t a lot, maybe you can add to that number?

[@LateBloomingND]

I don't even think the issue isn't that there's not enough demand because there definitely is. The problem is money!

[@ceethecounsellor]

Yeah you’re definitely right about that!

[@LateBloomingND]

@@ceethecounsellor Thanks for sharing sis I love watching your channel ❤️

[@ceethecounsellor]

That means a lot! thank you so much @@LateBloomingND

[@punnypuns5103]

Is it possible to get financing on l2 counselling?

[@ceethecounsellor]

Yes, I believe you can get financing on most higher education courses depending on your age and the qualification

[@punnypuns5103]

This is fascinating

[@ceethecounsellor]

Thank you, im glad you enjoyed it

[@pscull6306]

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

[@ceethecounsellor]

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!

[@ClassySassyLass]

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 😊

[@katyafyodorova6605]

Thanks for the information

[@ceethecounsellor]

You're welcome! I have a video on the difference between being accredited and registered as a therapist here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKu7poKvj8x9a68 But if you would like a video about course accreditation, then no, I don't have one but I can certainly do one soon.

[@VixxOT6Starlight]

Thanks for the video! ❤

You're very welcome Lina!

Hi Ceee , have you got a video on how much a level 4 counsellor can make ?

[@ceethecounsellor]

Hey, I don’t have a video on that

[@vaishnaviyewale7687]

Heyy great video, can you tell us something about getting pr in UK after our studies?

[@ceethecounsellor]

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.
