Many people are interested in psychological issues, read advice and specialist literature and are happy if they can not only help themselves but also give other people tips. The idea of continuing their psychological training and making a career out of the need to support other people is often an obvious one.
Others have to deal with people professionally and would like to deepen and expand their skills, e.g. in conversation management, through further training.
It is often underestimated that a career as a psychological consultant or company coach requires more than just good empathy, sociability and the ability to express oneself precisely and clearly. At least as important is your own life and professional experience, a sense of responsibility and entrepreneurial thinking for self-employment.
