Volunteer Counsellor

Placements are available at Woman's Trust in East and West London and Barking & Dagenham for students who are studying counselling or therapy. Intakes are scheduled about 2-3 times per year.

Our requirements are that counsellors need to be in personal therapy for 1 year minimum and their second year of a Diploma course and have one year of experience of working with clients (30-40 supervised client hours or equivalent experience) . Counsellors will need to work following the Person-Centred/Humanistic approach.

We are always interested in counsellors who have a commitment to this area of work. Woman's Trust has an application process for counsellors interested in placements - counsellors are able to work at different times including some evenings and weekends. Please note: because of the needs of women using our service the minimum commitment is 4 clients per week. Successful candidates will also need to attend the three day induction course.

The deadline for the application is Friday 24th of February; interviews will commence on the week of the 5th of March and the training dates are the 20th, 21st and 22nd March 2012.
