Professional Training and Membership
It is important that any psychotherapist or counsellor you choose is safe, reputable, and has undergone extensive and thorough training. This should include their own personal therapy, as well as regular supervision of their work both during and after their training.
For entry to the UKCP, the psychotherapists training must have taken between 4 to 7 years to complete, and include training in their core psychotherapy modality, human development, psychopathology, ethical practice, research methods, comparative psychotherapies, and completion of a masters degree level research project. The psychotherapist must also have had mental health familiarisation, regular supervised practice, on-going continuous professional development(CPD), and undergone their own personal therapy.
Therapists who are members of reputable professional bodies such as the UKCP or BACP have had to meet these very strict training and entry requirements.
