CrossReach Counsellor

Our CrossReach Counselling volunteers work across a range of specialities and locations; face-to-face, online and over the phone. We work in supportive, holistic teams that deliver exceptional Counselling services to clients when they need it most, whilst consistently working to the highest professional and ethical standards.

As a volunteer counsellor with CrossReach, you will be providing a professional counselling service to clients. We will provide you with the necessary training that allows you to practice within our guidelines. We will also offer you the necessary training needed when you join the team.
If you would like to volunteer with us as a counsellor, we ask that you have completed a diploma in counselling or are currently undergoing a counselling diploma and have completed your readiness to practice. For our perinatal services we also ask that you have completed a minimum of 50 clinical hours. If you would like to see clients online, we also ask that you have completed an ACTO approved online training course. We will discuss at interview the number of clients you will see, along with the number of clinical hours that you can volunteer for.
Once you have passed your interview stage, we will apply for a PVG Membership for you, whether this be a new membership or an update to an existing membership.
We seek openness and respect towards CrossReach’s Christian Ethos
CrossReach Counselling is an organisational member of COSCA and adheres to COSCA’s Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice. All our practitioners are either, qualified and registered with a Professional Standards Authority (PSA) recognised professional body (e.g. BACP, COSCA, HCPC, UKCP), or in the process of gaining their qualification. The PSA assesses organisations that register health and social care practitioners ensuring your practitioner meets your needs.
