Questions before
you take the next step?

Who is the programme designed for?

The placements are suited to psychology students, postgraduate students in health related applied psychology, and people pursuing or working in psychosocial careers. The team can discuss suitability based on your background and interests.

How long is a placement?

The standard programme lasts three weeks. Bespoke longer programmes can be arranged around individual needs, subject to discussion and approval by the placement team.

Are all eight workshops included?

Your programme includes four half day workshops drawn from a menu of eight topics. Confirm the final topics and timetable with the team before booking.

Who delivers and supervises the workshops?

Qualified clinical and counselling psychologists in Sri Lanka conduct the workshops, supervised by consultant clinical and counselling psychologists in the UK.

Will I provide therapy or treat patients?

The programme described here centres on experiential education, observation and interaction in care settings. It does not qualify participants to deliver therapy independently. Discuss the exact scope of activities and any relevant requirements with the team.

What does the placement cost, and what is included?

Request an up to date quote directly from the team. Ask for a written breakdown covering programme fees, accommodation, meals, local transport, cultural visits and any other costs. Dates, fees and travel inclusions are not confirmed on this website.

What should I arrange before travelling from the UK?

Discuss programme dates, suitability, the itinerary and care setting requirements with the team before committing to travel. Check current official travel information and clarify visas, insurance, accommodation and any university requirements for your circumstances.

Can this count towards my university placement requirements?

Your university or training provider must confirm whether this programme meets its requirements. Discuss learning objectives, required hours, assessment and supervision with both your institution and the placement team before booking.
