    Hi,
    I would like to become a Psychotherapist, working specifically with young people. I have a B.A. in Applied Social Studies, and now I am looking into going back for the relevant qualification. I have been looking around, but would appreciate advice from people who have been through the process as to the best course to do, best college etc. I have been looking at PCI and so far, that seems the best option, am I wrong? What are the other options to become accredited with the relevant bodies?
    Thanks,

    Are you interested in a particular modality/school of psychotherapy?

    I have been doing a lot of research, and definitely would be interested in CBT. I have been a Youth Worker for a number of years, and really enjoy the 1:1 work, but looking to bring that to another level.
    I was looking at the post which gave all the various sites for colleges etc, but still not sure if I am 100% clear.
    I have B.A. in Social Studies, so to become a CBTherapist, would that mean doing a 4 year B.A. in Psychology, then a 2 years specialising in CBT? I want to do it "right", if there is such a thing?
    Thanks
