Work with us-3 resized

We don’t just want high-achievers. We want deep-feelers, quiet observers, slow builders — those who may have been overlooked elsewhere. We see you.

At Swayam, we know that healing isn’t always loud.
Some of the best caregivers are those who’ve quietly held others for years.
Some of the most thoughtful interns are the ones who’ve never been told they’re extraordinary.
Some of the most powerful professionals carry grief, marginalisation, or a soft fire that hasn’t had space to rise — yet.

Whether you’re looking to intern, volunteer, or join as a therapist, we don’t require perfection.

We welcome honesty, curiosity, and the quiet courage to care. We are looking for empathetic individuals, driven by compassionate curiosity and passion for the field of mental health to work with us! Our approach is trauma-informed, care-centric, queer-affirmative, neurodiversity-affirmative, and person-centered. Please apply ONLY if ALL these values resonate with you. You can be associated with us in the following ways:
Volunteer With Us
Short-term or flexible engagements in program assistance, content creation, storytelling, art, event support, fundraising or field/community building.
We especially invite those who’ve never felt “qualified enough.”
Join us as a Mental Health Professional

We currently don’t offer full-time or salaried therapist roles.
But if you’re an early-career psychologist or counsellor drawn to trauma-informed, community-rooted work, there are meaningful ways to get involved.

You can:

  • Co-facilitate trainings or support groups

  • Volunteer with campaigns and listening spaces

  • Contribute to content, outreach, or research

  • Grow through shared reflection and mentorship (where possible)

If you’re looking for purpose, not just a position — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply for an Internship with us
 

Open to students or recent grads (any stream) who want to explore mental health work rooted in community, trauma-informed care, or quiet leadership.
No perfect CVs needed — just honesty, willingness, and heart.
