I've thought a lot over the last few years about going back to school/retraining to try and kickstart a new career. I'd always hoped to work with kids in the field of psychology (clinical psychologist, educational psychologist, something along those lines). Anyway, after a few setbacks I decided to train as a volunteer counsellor for Childline while I figured out what my next step would be. Well, I finished my training in November and have been volunteering as a counsellor ever since and I'm loving it. So now I'm wondering if it's possible to actually have a career as a counsellor - a paid career that is!
So does anyone out there work as a counsellor and if so can you please tell me what kind of work you do/what sort of jobs are avialable etc?
Many thanks in advance!
