A male United Kingdom age 30-35, *oyofthe Rovers writes:

I recently posted a question on here regarding choosing my next career move. I have decided no what it is I want to do, but now need advice and suggestions in regards to this choice.

I am now looking to do some work counselling with children; I have recently applied to do some volunteer work for the samaritans to get a better understanding of what might be involved.

I am looking to further my career in this field, so any advice or suggestions on how I might achieve these goals would be appriciated.

Many thanks...

PeanutButter agony auntIn order to become a child counselor you will have to take a varied few courses in education to be able to gain a certification and practice in such a delicate field.

While I have no experience in this field myself, I would like to suggest to you that you contact your local university and ask to speak to a careers advisor, who should be able to point you in the right direction.

The service is usually free and easy to book. You do not usually need to be a member of the university to ask for one of these meetings.

There will be several courses available to you, you just need to pick the right one for you.

I wish you lots and lots of luck on your new path.
