What is registration/accreditation with a professional body?
Lots of counsellors and psychotherapists are members of a professional body. Professional bodies ensure counsellors and psychotherapists work to certain standards of good practice as a professional. Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation. At the bottom of each profile on Counselling Directory, you will be able to see which counsellors are members of a professional body, and which are registered/accredited with their professional body. Visit the Professional Bodies page for more information.
