There are several certifying organizations for biblical counselling. These organizations take you through a certifying process where they confirm your training, have you complete certifying exams, and ensure a minimum number of counselling hours, often supervised. Many certifying organizations require you to provide proof of church membership, and a reference completed by your pastor or an elder of your church. Certification is separate from training and accreditation (ie. obtaining a degree).

Most biblical counsellors who seek to make a living with full-time work are either employed as part of a counselling ministry in a local church or set up their own counselling practice.

If you have a church or ministry in mind, it is best to talk with them about completing your training as part of their ministry.

If you do not yet have a specific church or ministry in mind, it may be easier to get noticed by having a recognized certificate or degree and some form of certification. 

If you are considering setting up your own counselling practice, be aware that even with a degree in biblical counselling and certification, it is unlikely you will meet the criteria for most insurance organizations in being recognized as a counsellor. While this is not meant to discourage you from considering this path, it is important to be aware of the challenges in building a private practice, as many people are looking for a counsellor that their insurance will cover.
