Ok so I'm looking for some help in creating my trading plan, what should I be thinking about when putting it together? what kind of things do I need to have in it? do I even need one at all?
Any help anyone can give would be very much appreciated as I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

simple support and resistance levels would be a good place to start

Hey Walpants, Good on you for asking this question as it's a foundation must of trading.
You first want to focus on your timetable, What obligations do you have currently? Job? Children? Morgage?. As this will decide how much time you can place into your chart to left click your strike rates.
Second, What is your strategy?. What are your rules?. Can you confirm that it has a frequency that will deliver consistency. This will create your income.
Third, From the first when you turn off your charts you turn off the mode of thinking about your positions. Providing you have rules and the confidence to see your positions through as trading is a job at the end of the day and must be respected as one.
Think about these first.

This sounds very complicated and a lot to implement. Are there templates for trading plans that can be copied? I have no idea about strategy, rules that I will use.

Take your time, demo demo demo before thinking about trading for real.

3 months on demo at least. Never consider real account before that. If you try live and fail then go back to demo. it can take years to understand trading. I still do not!

Who are you? Background? Interests? What are your goals? Etc. Just go watch videos on youtube (UKspreadbetting & MoneyWeek are good channels), read about all this on investopedia, read the forums, ideas, etc...
There are systems spread over the internet you can look at this for fun.
I started live immediately. Demo... idk it's boring. Will teach patience I guess but it could also push you to risk alot make you confident couldn't it?
Going live doesn't mean you have to take 10 trades a week risking 1/10 of your account every trade.

Thank you for your input, as yet I dont really have a strategy or any rules so to speak, I need to figure out what type of trader I am first I guess.

Thanks, I rushed into a live account last year and blew the majority of it at which point I quit, determined to try again but don't want to make the same mistakes.

Slow and steady wins.

It seems you are still very new to the trading world. Maybe you should start with educating yourself first, especially if you are feeline overwhelmed. That feeling is quite common because there is a LOT to know. You will get the hang of it eventually.
What is your trading experience like? Are you trading right now, on a demo account maybe?

Regarding the feelings you are having, I think you just need to stick with it and try to trust yourself a little more. Yes, you will face losses most likely and it will bring you down at first.
Are you using an EA? That is a great way to trade for people who can't control their emotions. But when you one day want to switch over to manual trading, you need to get your emotions on check.
You said you want to get into creating a trading plan, a strategy for yourself. So do that, research and put it together and then go on with trading.

Make a plan like a scientist; to publish a hypothesis, one must prove it is not true.
Find an entry that you beat those X number of reasons for you not buy.
You get the idea.
