Placements

Nottingham Counselling Service (NCS) is a BACP Accredited Service and longstanding placement provider for Counselling and Psychotherapy Trainings. If you are currently studying towards a counselling qualification, whether it be Diploma or Undergraduate/Postgraduate degree, we are in a position to help you.

We work in partnership with a wide range of academic institutions to provide:

· Placements

· Clinical Experience

· Supervision

· Mentoring

· Development

Nottingham Counselling Service offers a necessary complement to the Counsellor/Psychotherapist journey toward qualification and accreditation with regulatory bodies. NCS offers 24 month Undergraduate and Post-Graduate placement to those undertaking Counselling/Psychotherapy trainings. NCS offers a community of counsellors in varying stages of professional development, and an on-site Clinical Team of experienced Supervisors. NCS also offers an opportunity to network and receive CPD opportunities.

What can a counsellor on placement expect?

Trainee Counsellors joining NCS on placement need to be able to commit to one day a week and, over time, deliver a minimum of three client sessions per day. Trainee Counsellors need to attend an in-person Supervision Group of 90 minutes with no more than 4 trainee Counsellors each week. Attendance at supervision is mandatory.

CPD opportunities will be made available throughout the year.

Cost

The Placement Fee is £110 per calendar month (covering supervision costs). This is to be paid by Direct Debit.

If you have further questions about completing your placement with Nottingham Counselling Service, please get in contact by calling our Admin Team on 01159501743.
