How do I become an NHS qualified counsellor, EFT, and Hypnothrapist? EFT, and Hynophrapist?

there is not a specific course or qualification to become an NHS counsellor but varies depending on the counselling required to do individual jobs. For instance the NHS mental health trusts are all desperate to get CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) therapists as the NICE (National institute for health and clinical excellence) guidelines advocates the use of CBT for most psychiatric illnesses. Also family therapist and other brief therapies such as BSFT (brief solution focused therapy). I do know that the local mental health NHS trust i work for does employ a hypnotherapist but am not sure what course she has completed. They will often accept any useful accredited qualification. Would be best to contact your local NHS mental health or PCT (primary care trust) trust.\n\ngood luck

well i am not sure what and lvn is, but i want to be a theripist, which is kind of next to being a psychologist. But psychiatry takes near the same amount of school as a doctor, because a phychiatrist is the one who deals with the medical aspect of mental problems. They are the ones who prescribe medicine and such for mentally ill patients, but they need alot of medical training and such to get the degree, so it does take a while.

Depends on what college or university you're attending, and what you plan to do once you graduate. \n\nThere are two main paths - theology and divinity. Actually, I got my B.A. in Sociology (which was actually very helpful, along with a minor in religious studies), 1st M.A. in Social Psychology, 2nd M.Div., and Doctorate is dual, D.Min. and Ph.D. (to meet state requirements for counseling licensure). \n\nCheck with your church to find out what they actually require. If you don't have to meet someone else's requirements, all you have to do is pray. God will let you know what you need to do. Peace!

do a search on google to locate a site on eft if you follow the procedure i think you can use a new affermation on each of the 7 rounds you have to do and the most important one is even though i have___________ I accept myself fully and completely.

You can work at various publicly funded institutions like senior centers, psych wards, prisons, hospitals, etc. You can hang a shingle and start a private counseling practice. You can get certified to become a school counselor. If you like and care about people, it's a rewarding job.

If u have got this person diagnosed by a qualified psychilogist or psychaitrist, then they must have also prescribed a therapy?\n& if u have decided on ur own, be ware\nA little knowledge is a dangerous thing.\nThere is nothing so bad as being a hypochondirac!!\nAnyways, do not force anything.\nIn phobias, one major therapy is "systematic desensitization" So u can try something similar to this therapy, for someone with a "problem similar to"\nIntroduce the person to the thing that here fears, in this case public places, very slowly, WITH CONSENT, & possibly, willingness.\nU'll have to do a lot of cajoling(I'm reluctant to say "counselling")\nArrange small gatherings of some know & some unknown(to the person)people at a nearby food joint or club for discussing a matter of common concern or a common hobby or sport, ofinterest to that person.\nEncourage the person to meet friends' friends, colleagues' families, etc.\n& if ur really worried, get a diagnosis, & therapy

As usual, people completely ignore the question to push their own agendas, as opposed to just ANSWERING THE FREAKING THING.....\n\nAnyways....\n\nTo become an ordained HP legally, considering that Wicca and Paganism don't recognise a head of church (just heads of their own covens) your best bet would be to go to the Universal Life Church website for ordination, and send away for their ordination packet.  It has the info and paperwork you would need to file with your local government to be legally recognised as clergy.  \n\nThe only other option would possibly be getting in with the Covenant of the Goddess, but it's a bit harder with them, and I'm not sure how close you are to them.\n\nGood luck on your journey. :)

That sounds very difficult. I guess it is about getting the balance right - being able to feel strong emotions when you want to, but if possible, being in control of when and where in case you have a fit.\n\nBy the way, I am a therapist (working in UK) and over here, hypnotherapists charge far more than counsellors or therapists!!!!\n\nIn Uk you can usually get short term therapy (b around 8 sessions) free on NHS.\n\nAlso, if you really want therapy, isn't it worth the cost?\n\nAlthough it can always be therapeutic to talk things through in confidence, it might be that all you need to do is talk things through with yourself. Give yourself permission to feel again - but don't go from one extreme to another. Take advantage of all the support you have with friends and family to help you through.\n\nYou might find it helpful to write or paint - that can release emotions in a safe way - you can feel in control.\n\nHope this is of some help.

Smiley,\n\nIf you can, get yourself into inpatient treatment.  If that's not possible:\n\nGet yourself into Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).\nGet another counselor, preferably one w/ a PhD.  \nGet yourself in to see a psychiatrist (if you don't have on already).\n\nPeace be w/ you.

i dont know of a site, you may want to look up in yahoo yellow pages. If you are a student or take a random class at a community college you are able to do free counselling with the therapist they have on location. On campus, other than that I would search the web, but I do not believe that the sources could be reliable. Good Luck!

An LPC means this person is a Licensed Professional Counselor.  This means they have met specific qualifications, such as: a graduate degree in psych or related field (MEd. is a Masters in Education, so take that for what it's worth), a specific number of credits of graduate education that includes specific areas of content (in PA it is 60, and includes ethics, abnormal psych, etc), a specific number of hours of supervised clinical experience (again, in PA it is 3600), and the licensure exam.\n\nI do not know how the requirements vary state to state, but the exam that I personally would take is national.  The second link tells you - by state - if they are legally (and ethically) allowed to diagnose (Dx) and treat (Tx), as well as the official title for the person.  The LPC is official, for example, and the MEd. is simply the extension of their degree.  \n\nI hope that helps a bit.  And as suggested by the other contributor, if medication is warranted, they should either provide a referral to a LICENSED psychiatrist, or recommend that you seek one for medical evaluation.  Do not rely on your primary care physician to prescribe.  His or her training in psychiatric medications is not as extensive, or as specialized, as a psychiatrist.

Well, someone's got to teach it to the next lot of would-be therapists!  :)\n\nIf you've been doing it a while and have a qualification (or two) in it already, then there should be courses available for you at your local college on how to teach adults.  There is a post-secondary education PGCE, which some universities and training colleges offer.  Have a look at www.gttr.ac.uk and also www.ucas.ac.uk.  If those are no help, try going dorect to your local college or trying Learn Direct (0800 100 900) - they should be able to talk you through the options if you give them a call.\n\nAnd I think over-19s are easier to teach because they're not forced to be in the classroom, but are there by choice...\n\nGood luck!

If you check out the Training and Develepment Agency for Schools website, you'll see all the options available.  It all depends on how much education you have already had and if you have any previous school experience (as, for example, a Teaching Assistant).\nHere are the paths available to you (assuming you have A'Levels):-\n1) 4 year education degree.\n2) 3 year regular degree (advisable to do it in a curriculum subject), followed by a PGCE course (1 year).\n3) Registered Teacher Programme - which I think would be most suitable for you (warning - it's highly competitive).  Here'd the link http://www.tda.gov.uk/partners/recruiting/ebr/rtp.aspx\n\nIf you don't have A'Levels then I reccommend you try that first, or a conversion course (which takes a year) if you have NVQs or something like that.  Good luck!

Go to the book store and find a book called tapping the healer within  by Roger Callaghan.  It is a protocol called EFT emotional freedom technique.  You can also go to a website called emofree.com to read more about it.  There is a basic eft protocol on findyourhealth.com that you can cut and paste and just follow the directions.  Also, I would look into adrenal function in the body.  You can find some info about that on the same website or can go to diagnostech.com.  There are other ideas to look into, like hypnosis, I have a friend that does that and he has helped many people with similar problems.  Also, not all hynosis therapist practice the same way.
