I want to be a psychotherapist what are the main pathways ?

aidie

i am toying with the idea of becoming a psychotherapist 

One that listens to and helps people get better

what are the main routes to this new career ?

is there such thing as an apprenticeship ? and are people of autism prevented in any way ?

do u know anyone who has switched career like this in mid life ?

  • Hi Aidie, 

    There are laws against discriminating because of someone's diagnosis, so you would not be prevented from studying to be a psychotherapist in any way at all based on your autism. The same goes for employment (although I know people are discriminated against even if not in an obvious way)

    I am currently at university and lots of people on my degree are having a career change in mid life (me being one of them!) 

    I would say go for it! Heart️
