Discouraged with Career :-(?
Hello,
Please i really need help, I have a degree in psychosocial studies but I have worked in an office for most of my life. I want to be a counsellor or a therapist however did not get accepted onto a course straight after I had completed school so now I have had to take on another job in an office so that I am actively doing something, but I really want to pursue my career the catch is this=
Pretty much most of the courses out there want you to have experience of workng with people in a care/therapy counselling setting and this for me is pretty muc impossible even the voluntary positions require experience.
I feel like all doors keep on closing in my face,at the moment I am VERY discouraged.Please can I be offered some help?
Many thanks
Sabrina

You need to get some relevant new classes or volunteer experience under your belt. I know you mentioned that volunteer experience requires some relevant work experience ... maybe that is true of some, but not all. I have friends who volunteer for suicide hotline & similar hotlines who lack any formal training or related work experience. Good luck!
