As part of my ongoing drive to self improvement and giving something back to the community I have been investigating the routes to become a certified psychotherapist so I can offer a mix of pro-bono work and charged for sessions to cover the costs such as insurance, zoom licensing, further education etc.
I spend most of my time in Brazil at the moment so I would probably need a distance learning option such as the Open University, so most look like a 3 year university level courses that will cost me tens of thousands of pounds and 3 years of my life.
I believe there are shorter options available that lead to more of a therapist level qualification so I'm looking into these option to maybe start next Sept.
Does anyone on here have experience of doing courses like these? I would appreciate their perspective on the level of challenge and usefulness of them.
Even suggestions on other qualifications that can be studied for remotely that would enable me to practice as a therapist at the end of it would be very welcome.
