So currently I am a final year student of English & Classical studies and although writing and reading remains a large passion of mine , my other passion lays in helping others whether through volunteering , charity work etc . Over time I came to learn about myself that i find it important as well to reach people and help them on a mental basis . However the issue is that whilst I can apply for a psychology conversion course masters, I came to realise that the education system and university is not really my thing and I admit that my experience there taught me that the methods there aren’t really my thing. As a person I am very spiritual , religious , philosophical and would like to get some advice as to whether anyone knowns about any independent courses out there that would enable me to gain a certificate in areas like counselling , psychology , mentoring , coaching etc rather than having to go to university? Whilst I want to work with others, ideally I I hope to move onto setting consultations and workshops of my own someday
