The New Futures Project is opening applications for counselling placement students who are passionate about making a genuine difference in people's lives.

🔷Regular clinical supervision and support.
🔷A welcoming team where you're never left to feel alone.
🔷Opportunities to work with a diverse range of adult clients.
🔷Professional development sessions and CPD.
🔷Support to build confidence, not just counselling hours.
🔷Experience using clinical systems and record keeping.
🔷Opportunities to observe how a modern counselling service operates.
🔷A placement focused on helping you become the best practitioner you can be.

Due to Popular Demand we now have another Level 2 Course starting in June 2026. 📣

The CPCAB Level 2 course is often seen as the first step towards becoming a qualified counsellor, but its value goes far beyond that.

It’s a great introduction to understanding people, building empathy, and developing strong communication and listening skills.

These are essential not just in counselling, but in a wide range of roles, including healthcare, education, support work, and any people-facing profession.

Whether you’re exploring a future in counselling or simply want to improve how you connect with and support others, this course offers skills that are useful in both your professional and everyday life.
