what is the UKCP?
UKCP stands for the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. The Council exists to promote and maintain the profession of psychotherapy. A National Register of Psychotherapists is published annually ; only therapists who have completed a rigorous training programme (usually post-graduate) that meets UKCP’s high standards, and who abide by its ethical code are included. A Diploma in Counselling, followed by BACP Accreditation, while not sufficient in themselves for UKCP registration, may be regarded as substantial steps in that direction for those who wish to obtain it.
