Counselling Courses in the Evenings/Part-time

sparkplug82

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice on what courses are out there in order to train as a counsellor at night/weekends? Currently work in finance which I really am not enjoying and am considering a career change. If anyone is a counsellor and wouldnt mind discussing their job with me feel free to PM.

Any advice greatly appreciated...

I'm just going to bombard with links from a bookmarks folder I have on this, some of them are from accrediting bodies and you can search those sites for courses they recognise e.g. the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am not linking for ones I don't have in that folder purely because I'm not searching for them but I'm thinking of the courses from TCD, UCD, DCU, DBS which you can find easily through their psychology page (or nursing studies in DCU). Also I'm not saying this is a complete list, but it's not bad.
