About The Role
Place2Be provides emotional and therapeutic support to children and young people aged 4-18 in partner schools. Counsellors working within the organisation adhere to the BACP ethical framework of good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, dedicated to improving mental health and well-being.

* This placement can be a pathway to future employment at Place2Be, with over two-thirds of our clinical staff having started as placements.
* Available in primary and secondary schools nationwide.
Counting your hours
All clinical hours can be used towards accreditation with bodies like BACP and UKCP. Check with your course tutor if child hours are accepted for your course. If not, you may still apply as a second placement.
