i’m a trained Hypnotherapist and NLP master and enjoy helping people with all sorts of issues from stopping smoking and weight loss to more serious issues such as self harming, self confidence, abuse etc,
But i want more. I want to give more. I want to train as a psychotherapist but confused with all the options open – does anyone have any idea where to start or courses, degrees etc.
You can start with a GCSE or A Level to give you a taste at the local college, i know u wanna help but i just disagree with the average 40 – 80 pounds that people pay Hypnotherapists just to be guided through visualisations, after all, all hypnosis is self hypnosis? but good luck with your course anyway, Yeah! i know "thumbs down but i do have my own opinions"

There are several centres of excellence in psychotherapeutic training. I am only familiar with the London based centres but I suggest you look at the Portman & Tavistock NHS Trust based in Swiss Cottage London. They offer excellent courses and have an excellent reputation and client base.

I suffered from mental illness for many many years and went on a search for the best techniques to deal with it. In my research I found that the most effective, logical, scientific form of psychotherapy out there was Human Givens Therapy.
See the following link for courses.

This is not as well known as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (it is a lot newer) but some studies have shown it to be twice as effective.
There is a book that you may want to read called The Human Givens. This book has been on the New York Times best sellers list and is a fantastic introduction to this form of therapy.
Good luck
