Counselling Placements

There are a number of opportunities within each of the services that the Counselling Team provides which allows our students to have a comprehensive experience of working with clients with varying presentations.

What do I need to apply?

We offer placements to students who are studying Counselling or Psychotherapy at Level 4 or on a Level 5/6 or degree program. We do not accept students who are doing Psychology Degrees.

What we need from you

In addition to being on an appropriate course we need you to commit to working with us either as a student (or once qualified) for two years for a minimum of three hours a week. You must be a student member of the BACP/BPS/UKCP and complete an enhanced DBS check.

What we offer you

We offer you monthly Supervision, clients that have been assessed by a Clinical Lead prior to allocation, Student Reports and access to both online and in person training (including MHFA Training) and workshops.
