Therapist (various specializations)

Therapists in the UK work with individuals, couples, or groups to help them manage and overcome a range of mental health and emotional issues. There are various specialisations, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, art therapy, and family therapy. Therapists may work in the NHS, private clinics, schools, or the voluntary sector, and their daily work can involve assessing clients, providing treatment sessions, creating treatment plans, and sometimes liaising with other healthcare professionals. Most therapists require a relevant degree and further postgraduate training, as well as registration with a professional body such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). It is a rewarding career for those interested in supporting others and making a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing.
