About Revive MS Support

Revive MS Support is the only charity in the West of Scotland providing nationwide support for people who are affected by MS. The charity was set up in 1984 by people living with MS and their families, and helps people manage the physical, emotional, financial, and social impacts that come with a diagnosis of MS.

Services include an MS Specialist Nurse; MS Specialist Physiotherapy; Welfare & Benefit support; Speech and Language Therapy; Counselling; Aromatherapy & Reflexology; Advocacy, Podiatry; Exercise classes; extensive group provision including Fatigue Management, Memory Matters, and other self-management groups; Continence Nurse service; Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy; and support for carers, families and friends; an extensive social programme and a Café hub.

We’re passionate that Revive is about people, and not just about MS. We can’t change someone’s diagnosis, but we can meet them on their journey and help them take control of their condition, maximise their mental and physical health and well-being, and help them work towards their goals. No-one should have to manage MS alone, so we’re here to provide evidence-based support, expertly delivered, to mitigate the often-devastating impacts that come with a diagnosis of MS and, where possible, change the dynamic and outcomes of living with MS for those affected.

Counselling Student Placements

At Revive MS Support, we are pleased to offer a small number of counselling student placements each year, providing a rich and meaningful learning experience within a specialist MS charity.

We typically support 8–10 CBT therapy students on placement at any one time, working as part of a team that delivers holistic support to people affected by multiple sclerosis.

What we offer

A placement at Revive provides:

• A varied and rewarding clinical experience
• Opportunities to work with clients affected by MS and its wider impacts
• Strong management and supervisory support
• Experience within a specialist third-sector health and wellbeing setting

Placement criteria

Due to the high demand for placements, we are usually only able to consider applicants who:

• Have at least 9 months of previous placement experience, or
• Can demonstrate relevant prior work experience aligned with the work we do at Revive

This helps ensure students are well-prepared for the complexity and responsibility of the role.

Upcoming availability

Our next placement openings are expected in summer 2026.
