CounsellingPlacements.co.uk is an independent directory of UK counselling and psychotherapy placement providers, built to help trainee counsellors find ethical, supportive placements. The directory lists 585 approved providers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — including NHS Talking Therapies services, charities, university training clinics and community mental health organisations.
Listings are reviewed before publication against the public information available at the time. A reviewed listing is not a guarantee that a provider is currently recruiting or that a placement meets a particular course’s requirements. Provider-confirmed, independently checked, curated and community-submitted labels explain the evidence available for each listing.
We provide a searchable directory of placement providers, student guides, interview preparation resources, and practical information about DBS checks, insurance, and supervision requirements. All resources are free to access.
Placement providers can list their service free of charge. Listings appear in the directory after editorial review. To submit or update a listing, visit the provider submission page.
Our directory is a signposting service, not a placement agency. Always confirm current availability and requirements directly with a provider. Read our terms of use, privacy notice, and editorial standards, or contact us at hello@counsellingplacements.co.uk.
