Trainee Counselling Placements
Traumaform offers a maximum of four placements per year to Trainee Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
Please note that we are not currently accepting applications for trainee placements. In order to register your interest for future applications, please email us at enquiries@traumaform.hush.com.
Trainee Placements
This gives those training to be counsellors/psychotherapists the opportunity to practice their skills, become proficient at their specific therapeutic practice and gain the 100 or more client hours necessary for completion of their Diploma Courses, as well as working towards their accreditation with the BACP or equivalent in the future.
As the placement positions are voluntary and not paid, this allows for our clients to access therapy at significantly reduced cost, but not at reduced competence. It is often said that counsellors and psychotherapists in training do their best work in the first year, although this may be anecdotal evidence only!
Many of our previous Trainee Counsellors are now working with us as qualified counsellors.
Following successful application to the trainee role, you would then be required to attend a series of workshops. The next dates for these are outlined below, in our 'Workshops' section.
Workshops
Traumaform offers a series of specialist CPD (Continuing Professional Development) workshops to cover the basis of trauma-informed therapy, both in person and online.
Attending these workshops is mandatory for trainees, but workshops are also open to anybody interested in developing their understanding of trauma and trauma-informed approaches to therapy.
These trainings consist of a series of 6 workshops.
Workshops take place via Zoom and will run from 9.30am - 4.30pm.
To enquire about cost and make a booking, please email enquiries@traumaform.hush.com
