Counselling Services

Cherwell Counselling Centre provides placements to student therapists, which allows us to offer low-cost counselling sessions whilst providing trainee counsellors with an opportunity to develop their skills. Sessions with a placement therapist will be the same as with a fully qualified therapist.

 

Each placement therapist will be on a certified, accredited counselling course and will have completed 30 hours of supervised clinical counselling. In addition, they will be student members of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) or similar professional body and will have completed their fitness to practice certificate. 

​

All qualified therapists will have passed a minimum of BACP Level 4 training, or they will have completed a degree or equivalent qualification. They will also be members of the BACP or similar professional body.

​

All therapists will continue to have monthly clinical supervision and adhere to the BACP ethical framework.
