Why volunteer as a counsellor?
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities, including placements as part of counselling training, opportunities to develop new skills and experience post-qualification, or for experienced counsellors wanting simply to 'give something back' to the community.
We welcome volunteer counsellors who have completed the academic part of their training, but who need to acquire additional clients hours to qualify. However, we do ask for a minimum commitment of 50 client hours as a volunteer, irrespective of how many client hours are needed to qualify.
We offer

- Mentoring support with an experienced qualified counsellor
- Financial support for supervision for qualified volunteer counsellors, and
- Reimbursement of their reasonable travel costs
- Access to free training/CPD events
