Trainee Counsellor Placement Programme

S.H.E UK offers a placement program for trainee counsellors who are studying level 4 and above in a relevant counselling qualification. This enables trainees to achieve their practice hours – placements can be offered online or face to face in Mansfield. 

At S.H.E UK, we believe that working with survivors of sexual abuse can take time to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Therefore, our ethos is long-term support, and we offer up to two yearsโ€™ worth of therapy to our clients. If a trainee decides to pursue a placement with S.H.E UK, they must consider that a two-year commitment is required.

Before starting a placement with us, the trainee will complete a 30-hour induction which offers training around trauma and the impacts. It is a robust introduction to our charity and the people we support. All trainees are also expected to have an enhanced DBS check before working with clients.

For further information, please complete the information below and one of the team will reply within 3 working days. We do respond to every person who expresses an interest, so please ensure to check your junk files if you havenโ€™t had a response.
