Mindsia Mental Health &
Wellbeing Group CIC
Member Organisation
Thank you for considering our platform for your clinical placement. We welcome applications from trainee counselors looking to work with adults (18+) at different times throughout the year, depending on our placement availability. We’ll announce these opportunities on our website and through other platforms and training establishment email networks.
Placement Requirements
We recommend considering our agency for your final year or second placement due to the complexity of client presentations and the nature of the work, which is suitable for more experienced students.
​
We accept applications only from students who are in their final year of Counselling Diploma. Students on Doctorate Level Programmes are welcome to apply.
​
Applicants should have at least 50 hours of counselling experience or significant experience in other mental health roles at the time of application.
​
We also require our counsellors on placement (Cops) to be in personal therapy for the duration of their placement with us.
Length of placement
​
As an agency specializing in long-term client work, we request a commitment of at least 12 months (with an 8-week notice period) even if this extends beyond your expected qualification date.
​
Your clinical placement will include a three-month probationary period. During this time, you will have meetings with both your supervisor and the clinical management team to ensure you are progressing as expected and receiving the necessary support.
Supervision
Update 19/09/2025 : Due to our hybrid working model and use of external therapy rooms, we are currently unable to offer in-house supervision.
​
We offer free group supervision to our counsellors on placement. It is the responsibility of each trainee therapist on placement to ensure that their fortnightly supervision arrangements meet the requirements set by their training course or accrediting body. Mindsia will consider requests for additional external theoretical supervision, but clinical responsibility remains with Mindsia.
​
You are expected to accommodate Mindsia’s supervision timetable wherever possible. Mindsia requires a minimum of 85% attendance at supervision sessions throughout the year to ensure adequate support and monitoring.
Before starting client work, you are required to meet and participate in their designated supervision group for a suitable period. This ensures they are adequately prepared and supported before engaging with clients.
