Placement Opportunity
Your chance to join the Dream Team
At Ripples Wellbeing our student counselling placement programme is built on three core values: reflection, empowerment, and growth. These principles shape every aspect of the experience, creating an environment where developing counsellors are supported, challenged, and encouraged to become confident, ethical practitioners.
At the heart of our organisation is the belief that every member of our team is a Ripple. As a Ripple, you become part of a shared mission to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, raise awareness of the benefits of therapy, and make counselling as accessible and inclusive as possible. Every interaction has the potential to create meaningful change, extending far beyond the therapy room.
Our placement programme offers a progressive and nurturing learning environment. You will receive regular guidance, and opportunities for reflection, allowing you to integrate theory with practice while developing your professional identity. We value curiosity, self-awareness, and continuous learning, recognising that personal growth is fundamental to becoming an effective therapist.
Alongside this support, you will be encouraged to work independently, building the confidence and resilience required for professional practice. Placements are designed to develop not only your therapeutic skills and client management but also the practical knowledge needed to establish and sustain your own private practice. From maintaining professional boundaries and managing caseloads to understanding administration, communication, and business responsibilities, you will gain experience that prepares you for life beyond qualification.
We believe that excellent counsellors are created through a balance of support, challenge, and opportunity. Our placement programme provides the space to reflect, the encouragement to grow, and the empowerment to develop your own authentic way of working.
By joining our community at Ripples Wellbeing, you become part of a movement that is committed to creating lasting, positive change—one person, one conversation, and one Ripple at a time.
