Get a degree in theology and join any denomination and you're good to go. Anything outside that will be a total waste of time.

Happy Sunday fellow NL, am just enquiring on the career path of counselling and therapy in Nigeria.

Is it really a good career path?
yes . So many Nigerians are mentally sick and depressed without knowing who to talk to. Be neutral, don’t go religious and you will make it .

Not bad but Psychology tends to widen one's options. My undergraduate degree happens to be in Counselling Psychology, I covered career counselling, Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) in my final year.

It is has been fulfilling though outside Nigeria. When it comes to practicing as a therapist, it requires investing in postgraduate studies for your intended specialization.

I study guidance and counselling.

It's a good course, but here in Nigeria is a waste of time. Unless you intent to practice outside or go into pastoring.
Me too, I read guidance and counselling
