Why Volunteer For Wilfrid’s House?

  • Personal & Professional Development

    Whether you are looking to elevate your training or qualifications or simply to contribute to today’s society through this important work, the community at Wilfrid’s House is committed to supporting the personal and professional development of everybody within it.

  • Group Supervision

    We run regular, small supervision groups which allow our volunteers the opportunity to discuss challenges and share thoughts and ideas. Regular supervision is considered best practice for all talking therapists and helps ensure the wellbeing of both our clients and volunteers. Supervision is completely confidential.

  • CPDs & Workshops

    We run a rich and varied programme of CPDs to provide our volunteers with further learning and our clients with enhanced support. Recent CPDs include “Working with Eating Disorders”, “Working With Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse” and “Working With Trauma In the Therapy Room”.

  • Flexibility

    All of our volunteers are able to work according to their own schedule and in the comfort of their own home. We ask for a minimum time commitment, but we aim to be as flexible as possible to accommodate our volunteers’ domestic commitments, alternative employment and personal preferences.

What sets Wilfrid's House apart is their unwavering commitment to understanding and meeting the unique needs and aspirations of trainees like myself. What truly impressed me about Wilfrid's House is their dedication to trainee growth and development. They strive to offer invaluable learning experiences and mentorship opportunities.

They have not only facilitated my placement process but also provided ongoing support and guidance as I navigate the challenges and triumphs of psychotherapy training. With their assistance, I felt confident and well-prepared to embark on a fulfilling career in psychotherapy."
