We look forward to receiving your application form.

Terms of Application:

If successful, you are required to make a commitment to be available for at least three hours per week (there is an option to commit to more hours) to see a minimum of 3 clients at a time as part of your counselling placement, for a minimum of one year.  

You must be in personal therapy with a qualified counsellor throughout your placement. 
We will require written confirmation of this from your therapist before you begin to see clients.

You are required to have monthly supervision in line with BACP / UKCP / NCS / CORST requirements.

Long breaks and sudden endings are to be avoided. In order to ensure your endings with clients are ethical and well managed, the Affordable Counselling Network requires a minimum notice period of 12 weeks if you wish to end your placement while you have active clients. 

You are able to take up to 4 holiday sessions per year (one session = up to 1 week of client bookings), which must be agreed with the Affordable Counselling Network admin team at least 4 weeks in advance. No more than 2 holiday sessions should be taken consecutively.

By completing an application below, you agree to these terms and a commitment to practice safely and ethically while on placement with the Affordable Counselling Network. If you do not feel able to meet these criteria, please do not apply to the Affordable Counselling Network at this time.
