Ich komme aus einer komplett anderen Branche, möchte jedoch als Beraterin einsteigen. Wie schnell geht das?

Getting into counseling does not happen overnight and should really not be rushed. After all, you want to support people in the future, help them and offer professional advice. This is not recommended without sound counselor training, as otherwise you will lack the basic knowledge and counseling skills required for this sensitive work. You should therefore first look for providers who offer courses in the area of counseling that interests you and then request some training materials from them. Read through the courses carefully and see which ones are most suitable for your needs. As you have no previous training as a psychologist, counselor, doctor, coach, therapist, social pedagogue or similar, you should choose a course that introduces you to counseling from the ground up and gives you an understanding of this subject area. Some weekend seminars will therefore not be sufficient without prior training and are more suitable as specific continuing education, further training. As a complete reorientation, counselor training will certainly take a few years, but you can do it alongside your current job.
