Here at Birchall we offer a small number of placement opportunities for student counsellors and therapists across Cumbria and Lancashire. We have two intakes each year.
We’re delighted that you are considering a student placement with us. Offering counselling at Birchall isn’t your usual run of the mill placement, we provide a supportive and collaborative placement where you are valued and helped to grow.
