Counselling and Psychotherapy Placements 2025

Our Summer/Autumn placement intake for in person placements is now closed. Should we have any spaces become available, we’ll advertise these here at the end of September 2025, so please check back.

You can still apply for online placements however - simply schedule an interview using this link. If you are interested in an online placement, you must interview in the room you’d be logging in to client sessions from, and on the device that you will be using. This should be laptop or desktop, as we do not allow therapists to conduct online sessions on their phones.

Other information about placements:

  • As we are a long-term service, we require all placement trainees to commit to at least one year of placement with us.

  • We currently accept applications from those studying at a Level 5 or above.

Trainee Testimonials

  • My placement has been a really positive experience. I have felt trusted and supported throughout. Though i work with Offload remotely, i still feel thought about and included as part of the team.

  • Excellent placement would defintately recommend. Lucy is very efficient, organised and responsive to trainees needs and provides a great level of support.

  • Being a trainee at The Offload Project is great! Questions or concerns are acknowledged quickly, the induction was informative & the online system is easy to use. I see a range of clients both in-person and online, which are allocated quickly. I couldn't recommend it more!

  • Good clear training on their systems and processes, regular 1-2-1 with the Director who lends a skilful, supportive ear and the privilege of some wonderful clients. I’ve found it a really positive training experience so far. Thank you Offload’

  • Offload were my first ever placement as a trainee and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lucy and the team have been so helpful and supportive from day one. They offer a really robust induction for their trainees and are always responsive if I have any questions or queries. They have an accessible and easy online process for online therapy, and a lovely in-person space for face-to-face clients. It's clear how much love and dedication has gone into Offload. I would highly recommend them as a placement provider!
