We offer consistent and comprehensive support to children and by extension their parents/carers who are affected by social, emotional or mental health needs in a safe therapeutic setting; through talking, creativity and play.
Psychotherapy Clinical Placements at Unlocking Potential provide the opportunity to make a real, meaningful difference to the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable children and families.
Our clinical placements are based in primary schools across London: Brent, Camden, Hackney, Havering, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth and Westminster.
Potential future career opportunities at UP: we are always seeking to develop the next generation of UP Therapy Team Managers and Complex Case Therapists, and invite any keen trainees who exhibit the qualities and skills required for the roles to apply during our recruitment drives at various times of the year.
“UP has been the most supportive placement experience to date, I am grateful for the thoughtful care that is put into the entire experience from interview, assessed workshop to the actual placement in school. I have found that all the training I have received has made me feel less anxious and well prepared for clinical work.”
“The experience of being in a well-supported placement like UP is invaluable in becoming more able to understand the theoretical groundwork that has been done and enabling the growth of one’s personal practice. The placement has been an essential part of my training which brought the learning to life.”
“Thank you for the great experience I have had over the past year. It has been such an enjoyable learning process and I have gained a great deal from my placement, for my future work as a therapist.”
