New logo for BACP register

The BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) is the the largest professional body representing counselling and psychotherapy in the UK.

The BACP Register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists is a list of BACP members who have met the standards for registration. In addition, the Register has gained an important quality mark of accreditation by the Professional Standards Authority for Health & Social Care, which is an independent body accountable to Parliament.

All registrants are bound by the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy. As such, all registrants are required have appropriate supervision and continuing professional development.

Some registrants have also sought a higher level of quality assurance through the BACP accreditation scheme and those members are clearly marked as 'accredited' on the Register.

Some of the therapists on the Register have a link to the BACP online directory of therapists in private practice and this will give more detail about their work.
