How do I become a counsellor with a conversion MSc Psychology

I am going to study a MSc Psychology Conversion course at Leeds Beckett University this September with the final goal of becoming a school counsellor. However, I still have a few questions that I hope someone can help me with.

I already have 3 years of teaching experience, how relevant it is for me to find jobs or enrol in another more specific course like an MA in counselling?

I have read the BACP guide to become a registered therapist here https://www.bacp.co.uk/careers/careers-in-counselling/training/ and am wondering where will my degree stand at one of their 3 stages.

You will be at stage zero when you finish the conversion, it is not part of the pathway and very few counsellors i have ever worked with have any qualifications in psychology, unles there are doing doctoral level.

Hope that helps,

Greg

Thanks for replying, do you have any suggestions for what I can do while studying or even after the course to get closer to my goal?

I think something like this would be a good start? https://leedscitycollege.ac.uk/courses/level-2-award-in-counselling-concepts-rothwell-centre/

It could lead to this https://leedscitycollege.ac.uk/courses/counselling-skills-abc-certificate-level-3/ and then this I think https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/counselling-psychotherapy-pg-dip/

This is really helpful, thanks a lot for your help
