Apply for a clinical placement

Thank you for your interest in a clinical placement with Inside Talk. As a placement therapist you'll work with real clients in a professional clinical setting, so we ask all trainees to approach the placement with reliability, professionalism, and a commitment to ethical practice.

If successful, we ask that you're available for 3–4 hours of client work per week, are in personal therapy throughout your placement, and commit to a minimum placement period of six months. Applications are reviewed by our clinical team and we aim to respond within three weeks.
