"I began working for the service over three years ago and have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. I initially joined as a trainee on placement and, after qualifying as a couple’s counsellor, was delighted to be offered a permanent contract. Since then, I’ve been given ample opportunities to continue developing my skills and extend my practice, which now includes working with families. I feel truly supported by both my supervisor and manager, as well as the consistently helpful admin team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Relationships Sussex as a fantastic and rewarding place to work."

Advanced CPD with Lisa Etherson
What if male sexual difficulties are better understood through the lens of shame rather than performance?
This 4-hour advanced CPD introduces Shame Containment Theory (SCT)-a clinically grounded framework that explores the relationship between shame, attachment and adult sexual functioning.
Through a compassionate, non-pathologising approach, you'll gain fresh insights into presentations such as erectile difficulties, pornography-related distress, sexual avoidance and relational withdrawal, along with practical ideas to take into your clinical practice.
Suitable for sex therapists, relationship therapists, psychosexual practitioners, counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees.

Thank you for your interest in a student counselling placement with Relationships Sussex.
We offer couples counselling placements and relationship counselling opportunities for trainee counsellors undertaking recognised qualifications. However, we are currently closed to new student placements as we are operating at full capacity.
We understand how important a counselling placement is as part of your professional training and accreditation journey, and we greatly value the dedication of trainee therapists seeking experience in couples and relationship counselling.
Although placements are not currently available, you are very welcome to send your CV for us to hold on file and review when opportunities reopen.
