There are a bewildering number of counselling and psychotherapy courses on offer: yet often trainees are not fully aware of the implications of their choice of course for their time, finances and future career until they have already begun training. Choosing a Counselling or Psychotherapy Training takes the reader through all the stages of the therapeutic training path, looking at everything from starting a course to employment prospects.

Informative and realistic, the book includes:

* Theoretical approaches to counselling and psychotherapy

* Preparation for starting a course: costs and course content

*Qualifications, registration, accreditation and research

*Careers in therapy

Choosing a Counselling or Psychotherapy Training is essential preparatory reading for all those embarking on counselling or psychotherapy courses, as well as for trained counsellors and therapists considering their career development.
