Hi
I took a general counselling qualification but found I was getting too emotionally involved!. Empathy is essential but so is the ability to to put the problems out of your mind when you get home!. I guess as a nurse you will be counselling automatically and you will know if you are able to do this!. Bereavement counselling is a wonderful thing but I think it could be emotionally draining if you couldn't detach when you need to!. Could you have an informal discussion with Cruse and put your concerns to them!. I am sure they will be able to advise and to some extent assess you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
