While a qualification in nursing, social work, psychology or similar will support your learning and understanding of some of the theories studied in counselling they will not have given you the adequate client / helpee contact nor developed your self awareness / personal development. You may have undertaken one to one work with clients, however, the nature of the counselling relationship is very different.
