Lifecentre is a charity providing specialist therapeutic services to survivors of rape and sexual abuse. We work from three in-person locations across West Sussex, as well as online and by telephone or email.
We are looking for an experienced therapist, ideally accredited (or working towards accreditation) with BACP, UKCP, BAPT or ACC. Management and safeguarding experience is desirable.

We have multiple roles available across our catchment area for a caseload of 10 clients over 2 days, including:
* Chichester, clients aged 12 – 17.

These roles are offered on a self-employed basis.
Session fee: £32.48 per 1.5-hour session (60 minutes therapy + 30 minutes admin).
