Volunteering as a counsellor

The Face-to-Face counselling service welcomes volunteer counsellors from a wide range of theoretical models and with varying skills and experience. We would expect you to be in the second year of a BACP accredited Diploma, BA or MA or to have considerable previous experience of providing counselling. We would ask you to commit to a minimum of a year and work with a minimum of 2 clients a week.

Are you currently recruiting counsellors?

We usually have a team of about 25 volunteer counsellors the majority of which positively identify as lesbian or gay. We are not actively recruiting new volunteer counsellors. However, we are currently under represented by counsellors from the following groups:

• Black and other minority ethnic groups
• Counsellors who identify as disabled
• Counsellors who are HIV+
• Trans Counsellors 
•  
• If you meet any of the above criteria please contact our Volunteer Manager Claire Taylor on 0845 3 30 30 30 or email: claire.taylor@lgf.org.uk
