PSYCHOLOGY

Asked by Adam

What courses or unis should I go to if I wanted to be a counsellor or some sort of support for thegay, lesbian and trans teenagers/young adults? As a trans guy who is proud of it, I'm willing to help others in this and would like to know what course would help support young LGBT+ people. I'm also thinking about going into the mental health aspects as well? As some sort of therapist maybe??

Hey there 🙂 Great question! It depends exactly what you want to do. If you would like to be a counsellor, you need to do a psychology degree or complete a registered course, such as a psychology conversion or a BCPC training course. That would make you certified to practice counselling. It can take up to 6 years study with many hours of volunteer counseling hours - but if it’s something you love and are passionate about, it can be really rewarding! There’s also a real need for counsellors who understand what it’s like being LGBTQ+. If you want to be an LGBTQ+ activist - like myself - then you don’t need any particular qualifications, but you do need experience. You can get that by volunteering with local LGBTQ+ groups, getting involved with different campaigns or even starting your own. In my work I’ve given talks in schools and run workshops with young people - it’s not quite as personal as counselling, but you can still give young queer and trans people support, and inspire them to love themselves and change the world! I hope that answers your question 🙂

Passionate English and ESL Tutor

Hello! My name is Mehak. I studied Criminology and Psychology at university and now work as an English tutor and ESL teacher. I have always had a passion for English Language and Literature, and always got the highest marks in school. Creative writing is one of my favourite things to do and I love reading too. I can be a bit of a stickler for correct grammar and punctuation, which makes this job perfect for me. I have been a volunteer and private tutor of English, both academic and general, for over 6 months now. I can honestly say that there is nothing else I would rather do than teach others. Positivity is the key to succeeding and that is the motto I go by. I think learning is the best and we can have so much fun learning together! Don't be nervous, I am here to help. It's okay if you make mistakes because that is how we learn. Confidence is just as important as positivity, because you need to feel like you are capable of doing well. I constantly offer encouragement for all of my students. Even when they are really struggling. You are doing this for yourself, not me, not your parents, not your teachers. Just keep calm and keep smiling! You can do this and I can't wait for us to get started! https://www.tutorfair.com/blog/volunteer-tutoring-mehaks-story
