Volunteer Counsellor

“I so enjoyed my time at the Centre, you were all incredibly supportive and enabling. The Centre is clearly driven by thoughtful, caring, and client focussed values and that then shows up in everything. And allows the trainees to not only do good work, but learn those values to take with them. I learnt a great deal from my time at the Centre and am very grateful to you all - particularly Penny for her diligent and continually supportive supervision.”

We run our affordable counselling service with a team of committed volunteer counsellors.  

The Centre for Better Health offers well-regarded and sought-after placements to counsellors in training. We work with clients for up to a year so can provide trainee counsellors with valuable long-term client experience. We work with a broad spectrum of mental health presentations and offer the opportunity to work with complex cases once volunteers have gained sufficient experience. These placements offer students the opportunity to not only gain hours for their college requirements but to continue for accreditation.  

In order to apply, you must be a qualified counsellor or at least in your second year of a professionally recognised counselling course. We strive to be inclusive and welcome applications from diverse lived experience and intersectionality including race, sexuality, gender and disability.
