VOLUNTEERING AS A COUNSELLOR/ TRAINEE COUNSELLOR

Crossroads Counselling accepts applications to volunteer from both qualified and trainee counsellors. Applications for a placement may be made at any time of year.

We welcome applicants of any personal background and, as a charity founded out of the Christian faith and belief in service to the community, there is a requirement for understanding and respect for the Christian ethos at Crossroads from potential volunteers.

We also welcome applicants from a variety of counselling modalities, but we do not offer cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) or ‘Christian Counselling’ so are unable to accept applicants from these modalities.

For trainee counsellors, Crossroads offers placement opportunities for those who are in at least their second year of counselling/ psychotherapy training at an accredited training organisation. No prior experience of client work is needed.

If you would like to apply to be a volunteer counsellor for Crossroads Counselling or want to know more about the application process, please email helen@crossroadscounselling.org including the name of your training institution, your modality and when you qualified, or if you are a trainee, please also tell us which year of training you are in, and whether supervision of client work is provided ‘in-house’ in your training programme.
