Hi Catoswyn,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Yea I am prepared to go on for further study, to either pursue into OT or psychotherapy/counseling psycho. I registered with this healthcare agency few days ago where it will allow me to work as healthcare assistant, will be staring in 2 weeks time with training to start with. But at the same time, I have an interview coming up for the position of Assistant support worker in Long-term mental health. So I wasn't sure if being a healthcare assistant would be a best idea to build up some relevant experience, so that even either going OT or psychotherapy career path, it will be beneficial.
As for approach in psychotherapy, i obviously have no preference or specific approach i wanna do, so idea was to pursue into university or college that offer psychotherapy course after working as healthcare assistant etc.. For career path in OT, as I am graduate degree holder, I was thinking of going into 2years accelerated master course. Either way, I wonder if I am making the right choice working as healthcare assistant,
I will have a look for those professional studies you suggested in the mean time as well
For now, I am confused, whether I should be working as healthcare assistant or assistant support worker (assuming that I get through the interview and be offered the position of course ;P)
sorry for this lengthy message!! ><
