Dynamic Counselling

Student Placement

We offer Trainee Counsellors the opportunity to undertake a placement with ‘Dynamic Counselling’ at one of our Centres in either Stansted Mountfitchet or Great Dunmow (dependent on availability and start date).

We can assist you in obtaining your clinical hours and having the opportunity to work on a longer term basis with some, if not all of your clients. Please note that we offer each of our clients a minimum of 12 sessions under this Service.

In return, we ask you to:
