Anyone thinking or actively transitioning from HR to Counselling?

Safwan

Just exploring a line of thinking here. Given that there is an increase in focus in the wellbeing and mental health space and the potential for transferable skills, has anyone considered (or even activated) a plan to transition to counselling ? Thoughts welcome. Rgds Safwan

  • I considered transitioning to counselling and found that it was very expensive to do and not feasible for me. From memory (it was a couple of years ago) you had to study for the qualification which was a few thousand, plus completing a significant number of unpaid practical experience hours before you could be qualified.

    My wife started as a management trainer and eventually joined Relate many years ago. She went through their training and if I recall was also seeing couples and eventually ended up being a supervisor and a Relate trainer. I don't know if they still recruit and train their counsellors in that way. As far as I remember the training was free.
