Making the leap to become a therapist can feel daunting, especially when you're navigating the uncertainty that comes with a career change. In this follow-up video, I’m sharing 5 key pieces of advice I wish I’d known before becoming a therapist/psychotherapist/counsellor. 🧠
From mindset shifts to practical steps, this video covers the essential things that can help you as you move through training and early client work. Plus, I’ll touch on the importance of support from others during the journey, as we all need a community to lean on as we grow into this career.
If you’re a new or trainee therapist (or thinking about it), I hope these tips provide you with some helpful guidance as you take those next steps!

Your content is really awesome,
I appreciate that!
I'd love to see a video on how to get into grad school! Thanks for the content!
Hi there, thanks for the comment/suggestion, I appreciate it. Can you say a bit more about what you’re thinking about here? In the UK you fill out a form and go for an interview and I imagine they’re usually just looking at your motivation etc for doing the course. Sounds like something a bit different where you are?
Thank you so much for including some topics I requested in your videos! I very much appreciate your advice and experience, it is very helpful. Great to see how your channel is growing!
You are so welcome! Thanks again for suggesting them and any more ideas, just let me know. Yes, the channel is growing well which is great, thanks to people like you too 😊
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so succinct and clear. I'm extremely cash-strapped and finding it hard to afford UKCP courses . Which qualification would you recommend to become accredited with UKCP in terms of cheapest and able to be most broadly applied? There seems to be no funding for UKCP masters. (One in Birmingham Newman uni but too far.) Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm moving from a teaching career. Currently applying for funded Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.( Not CPCAB so will then do proficiency test for BACP. )
Love the 'follow your envy' idea
Hi there, thanks so much for what you say about the videos, it’s really good to hear.
Yes I think that one of the main obstacles to coming into the profession is financial and I hope that changes over time. Really wish I could tell you would the cheapest courses were, but in my experience the UKCP courses are similarly priced. Have you asked UKCP themselves about any information they have on course fees? It’s possible to get a cheaper/shorter qualification of course, but I do understand why you’d want to go for UKCP accreditation. Would love to have been more help here, but speaking to UKCP is all I can think of.
