There are several resources you can use to identify potential placements:

  • GP Surgeries: Your local GP surgery and/or Medical Centres may have information about local placements and can assist with related searches.
  • Children’s Services: Some children’s centres may be glad of the opportunity to have a student counsellor to work with either the children and/or the parents/guardians. Or they may already have placement opportunities specifically for counselling students.
  • Professional Organisations: Many professional associations provide resources and directories for finding placements in various counselling fields.
  • Community Resources: Social Services, Charity Sector, Rape Crisis and Domestic Abuse Services may have information about available placements.
