Student Placements

CFM counselling has a Christian ethos: therefore, any student applying for placement with us needs to be a practicing Christian or sympathetic with the Christian faith.

​

We accept students at degree/diploma level who have been authorised by their tutor as competent to work with clients.

​​

Students are invited to apply to CFM Counselling at any time. Our manager will then contact each applicant for an informal chat before an interview is offered.

​

We advise students to have a second placement as we are not always able to guarantee that we will be able to allocate sufficient clients to meet your quota of client hours.

​

We request that students meet with at least 4 clients at one time depending on client and student availability however, this may not always be possible.

​

Students are requested to integrate with our team of counsellors and attend team meetings held a maximum of 3 times per year (subject to requirement) and to attend any team training that is held.

​

As a charity we commit to supporting our students throughout their placements and provide management and clinical supervision.
