You don't need a degree to become a counsellor. You can do professional training at a local college, starting with level 2 and/or 3 counselling skills courses. You only need to train up to level 4 to register as a counsellor with the BACP. Once accredited, you would also be eligible to undertake further training, for example, as a High Intensity CBT Therapist.
