Hey all! First time posting on here so forgive me if it's a bit rambly!
So I'm studying my level 3 CPCAB atm and feel a bit lost about what to do next.
My college offers evening classes for the level 4 CPCAB or a whole day a week on a BACP diploma course. Alternatively, I've seen an opportunity to train to become a PWP within the NHS, which is a full time paid position.
My current situation is that I'm out of work (I was working as a VFX artist but I'm losing drive in that area faassstt and can't seem to get any work anyway), so I'm not sure whether to keep trying to get a full time job and do the evening course; get a part-time job and do the BACP diploma; or go for the job stability of the PWP role.
The main concern is money, being that there isn't much of it at the moment, which makes the PWP role appealing but from what I've seen, it's not as advanced as qualifying to be a counsellor, and it's very intense with the workload. And it's CBT focused, which I don't know how to feel about having trained so far in person-centred and being very interested in Transactional Analysis.
Any advice or suggestions from people in/with similar experience would be amazing!
