Counselling Placements
Practical experience is an essential part of professional development for trainee counsellors.
Self Horizons aims to support the next generation of therapists through counselling placement opportunities where available.
Placements provide opportunities to develop therapeutic skills, gain experience working with a diverse range of clients and build confidence within a supportive professional environment.
We understand the importance of high-quality placement experiences and seek to provide opportunities that support both professional growth and ethical practice.

Clinical supervision plays a vital role in maintaining safe, ethical and effective therapeutic practice.
Regular supervision provides therapists with an opportunity to reflect on their work, explore challenges, develop professionally and ensure the best possible outcomes for clients.

Supervision can support:
- Professional reflection
- Ethical decision making
- Case discussion
