Our counselling service relies solely on volunteer counsellors, many of whom are counselling students. We have also been lucky enough to have some experienced volunteer counsellors, who have been invaluable in helping us to meet the wide range of needs of our counselling clients, and we would love to bring more on board!
We have established an excellent relationship with the University of Derby, the University of Nottingham and the Sherwood Institute and over the years, we have become a preferred placement provider for their students, many of whom contact us for placements as a result of these links.
We currently have some placement opportunities for new volunteer counsellors and we would welcome applications with a view of starting a placement in 2020.
If you are currently looking for a placement, please get in touch with Kath, our Counselling Administrator, at kaths@derbywomenscentre.co.uk, to get the ball rolling!
We would also be thrilled to hear from fully qualified and experienced counsellors who would like to volunteer some of their time to work with our counselling clients.
NB: Interviews with prospective volunteer counsellors will be arranged with our Counselling Coordinator
