The Alder Centre offers placements to students undertaking professional training in Counselling and Psychotherapy. These placements are managed in accordance with BACP guidance on trainee placements.
Due to the heavy emotive content of our casework, it is a requirement that students complete our internal training course ‘Understanding and Working with Child Loss and Bereavement in Counselling and Helping Relationships’ before the application of their placement. Students will need to consider the cost of this course prior to reserving a place.
Whilst the course may run several times throughout the year, our student intake is once per year with interviews usually taking place around Spring.
*Please note that, due to the number of placement requests, attendance on the course does not guarantee a placement. Interviews take place shortly after completion of the course.
