Bridging the Gap between Education and Lived Experience
Practicum Students
We champion the creation of safe, non-judgmental, trauma-informed environments that ensure individuals are acknowledged and understood, which we consider a vital part of the healing journey.
To nurture the upcoming cadre of trauma-informed therapists, we provide counselling practicum placements for students eager to acquire significant experience and insights. As a certified Practicum site, we take professional responsibility for our students, offering continuous support, routine evaluations of their clinical skills, and weekly face-to-face consultations.
We work in tandem with our students to design sessions, matching them with clients that suit their current level of proficiency.
The practicum experience at A Positive Start is designed with considerable flexibility and independence, equipping you for your future role as a counsellor.
To provide the highest level of support for our students and clients, we limit the number of student places available.
Should you have any further questions, please contact us at info@apositivestart.org.uk or via our contact page, alternatively you can submit an application using the webform below and we will be in touch.
What we call attention-seeking behaviour from a ventral perspective is often connection-seeking from a place of fear — whether expressed through sympathetic distress or dorsal withdrawal.
