About headspace

headspace is a counseling service for children and young people aged 12-25. At headspace, no problem is too big or small, and we talk to young people about issues such as heartbreak, family conflicts, worries, low self-esteem, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

At headspace Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, we have between 25-35 volunteer counselors who come in on regular shifts of 3-4 hours. You will therefore get to know a team of 2-8 counselors really well.

At headspace Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, there are always two counselors for the youth interviews and it will be your job to facilitate sparring with a focus on our core values and on the collaboration between the counselors. You will therefore support the volunteers in giving and receiving feedback after each conversation on your shift.

With us, you will have the opportunity to expand your skills in areas such as sparring, feedback, coordination and quality assurance, while contributing to making an important difference for many young people.

You will receive youth counselor training, where you will be introduced to Headspace's methods and values, and you will receive a course where you will be equipped to handle emergency situations and notifications, among other things. You will receive ongoing supervision so that you have the opportunity to constantly develop and become even more skilled.
