Help confused with second degree finance?
Hi just wondering if anyone can help with a second funding degree question or advise on what I should do?
I already have a degree in forensic science and psychology completed in 2007, which I took the full student finance available. I worked as a fraud investigator for a bank for quite a few years until I had my son and then took time out. Unfortunately, during Covid my marriage ended and I now find myself in a position where I would love to go back to studying but finding financial blocks in the way.
What I would love to do is train as a counsellor, but I am not eligible for funding as I have already studied a honours degree previously .
What other routes are there into a counselling job apart from a degree??

The following links describe routes into counselling and the qualifications required:
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/counsellor
https://www.bacp.co.uk/careers/careers-in-counselling/training/
https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/psychological-therapies/roles/counsellor
If you decided that a postgraduate qualification was the best option for you, then you could apply for postgraduate funding. Details here:

There are certain courses you can get a second student loan for even if you have not paid off your first. I am about to start forensic psychology at the top OU and got student finance. You just need to make sue what you want to study is on the list and call student finance if you are unsure.
