I have finally found something I really want to do; something I believe I could be really good at. After too many years of flailing around, not knowing what I want to do, I've found the answer.
Preliminary research on the BACP website, and subsequently on the website of the nearest college to offer BACP accredited courses, seems to indicate that a total initial time of three years training would be required.
I have no problem with this at all- but I'm 46. By the time I finish I'll be 49. Is it a mad thing to do, at this stage of my life? Would there be any hope of employment at the end of it?
Also- is this the best/only route into counselling? What about voluntary work? Should I look for that, too?
Sorry for all the questions- but I've never been this keen on any other area of work. I feel like I'm 'made' for it- but I do need to get real employment at the end.
