About AC.Aspiringcounsellor:

AC.Aspiringcounsellor is a page designed to document my journey and experience in becoming a registered counsellor. This page will have weekly training session updates, inspirational quotes, methods, research and all things psychology and counselling. As well as being a safe place, if you are unsure where to look for support. I have listed some of the most common organisations on the 'Help' page. Just a friendly reminder that again, I am a helper currently and can not offer any form of counselling or professional support. 

About the face behind the page:

I have 4 years of experience in the health and social sector, working as a care assistant and senior care assistant. Fun fact about me, I have two English bulldogs (1. Ernie who is 2.5 years old) and (2. Bert who is the baby of the family currently 5 months old). I have always had a passion for helping people from such a young age. I have developed a passion to help shape and change lives for the better. 

Why did I choose counselling as a career?

As stated above it has always been my ambition to help individuals, since studying Psychology I have focused on mental health. While in school I attended CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) the impact this had on my self and confidence was life-changing and I am forever grateful for the support of my counsellor at the time. With mental health having a drastic stigma attached to it I believe that there is no better time than ever to make a change. If this is helping multiple or one individual to thrive then I will be satisfied. 

My qualifications so far:

I have completed the CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills recently. I have gained two Certificates in Higher Education from The Open University one of these being Adult Health and Social Care and the most recent one being Psychology. I have also achieved Level 2 and 3 Btec Certificates in Health and Social Care while at college. Along with workplace training some of the following: Medication training, first aid level 3, care certificate and much more.

Training and qualifications I plan to complete:  

I plan to finish my CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills and then go on to the Level 4 CPCAB Diploma in January 2025, after that I then will become  a registered counsellor with the BACP and possibly more training after this, depending what area I would like to go into.

Follow along for my journey on this...
