CLINICAL PLACEMENT As part of the training your trainers will be assessing you on several aspects of your work and self development. At some point in your training (through which you will be guided) you will be required to do 'skills practice' or 'triad-work' (being the role as the counsellor, the client and the observer). From these experiences and as a requirement, you will need to gain a clinical placement i.e. joining a charity or counselling organisation to offer face to face counselling. Here are a few ideas for placements in Nottingham:
Cruse Bereavement Care (Counselling for Bereavement)
ISAS (Incest and Sexual Abuse counselling)
Rape Crisis (Counselling people who have experienced rape)
Relate (Relationship and Family Counselling)
Age Concern (Counselling with elderly people)
Nottingham Hospice (Counselling services for pending loss or loss)
Nottingham Women's Centre (Counselling for women only)
Treetops hospice (Counselling for loss etc.)
Framework (Counselling for homeless and disadvantaged people)
Place2Be (working with children at schools). (**Please note: it's my understanding that any counselling work with children is counted at the ratio 1:4 (with BACP or UKCP). i.e. You can count one clinical hour for four face to face sessions) Lets Talk Wellbeing Service – NHS service provider
Tip: Please note that although Childline's training and experiences gained are valuable, BACP do not accredit telephone counselling (unless it's a regular call with a person) as clinical hours.
