Our organisation is run by our dedicated team of hard working and highly skilled volunteers.

If you are interested in joining our team, you must be qualified and, as a general rule have a minimum of 400 hours of one-to-one counselling practice in addition to your diploma or masters in counselling, psychotherapy or art therapy.

In certain situations, we will take on people who are still studying, but have extensive counselling or psychotherapy backgrounds already established.

Arkordia requires that you give at least a years’ practice with us and also commit to attend our monthly peer and business meetings. These meetings underscore our cooperative identity. The peer group especially is a rich and engaging forum for work on our practice and for sharing our understanding of one another’s work.

As a therapist you agree to work (agreed expenses excepted) voluntarily at the South Side Centre. You must carry your own insurance for your practice with us and have private supervision arrangements over and above the peer group meetings we offer.

There are some limited opportunities for one-to-one supervision or mentoring to our practitioners.

If you believe you meet these criteria please contact us and we can arrange to meet for an interview.
