Trainee Placement Scheme

Trainee Counsellors and Psychotherapists: we are currently organising 1st and 2nd Interviews for our Trainee Placement Scheme for trainees at Diploma Level or above in GP surgeries in Somerset, Wiltshire and Devon

We are continually re-evaluating our Trainee Scheme and it is always a 'work in progress' which reflects the ongoing nature of therapist development and the personal journey we are all on... patient, counsellor, doctor, nurse, health service..

Our selection process is rigorous, and our support for our trainees and host surgeries as consistent and robust as we can make it.
