Our Purpose

At ACCP, we are dedicated to serving a diverse range of professionals who have completed recognised qualifications through blended and distance learning. These qualifications adhere to specific nationally recognised standards, ensuring that our members meet the rigorous requirements expected within the field. We also welcome professionals who have gained their qualifications through traditional courses spanning a defined period.

Our mission extends beyond merely accrediting professionals; we strive to provide a reliable resource for members of the public and businesses seeking qualified practitioners. Whether you are looking for a counsellor, coach, and psychotherapist, ACCP.UK is here to guide you in making informed decisions.

Assurance of Qualifications

One of the primary benefits of choosing a practitioner who is a member of ACCP is the assurance that their qualifications are genuine. The public and employers can verify with complete confidence that the therapist or coach they are considering has the qualifications they claim. Every member of our register has undergone a thorough vetting process, ensuring that they meet our high standards before being accepted into the ACCP society.

Moreover, we mandate that all practitioners maintain up-to-date Professional Liability Insurance. Upon joining ACCP, members are required to provide a current insurance certificate, which must be renewed annually. This policy not only protects practitioners but also instills confidence in the clients they serve.

Commitment to High Standards

ACCP is deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards in the accreditation of courses and training programmes. We align our criteria with the level markers established by Ofqual, the Open & Distance Learning Quality Council, and frameworks for Higher Education among other esteemed bodies. This commitment to transparency and rigorous standards ensures that our accredited courses provide quality education and training to future practitioners.

Our membership profile database is a powerful tool for anyone seeking to make an informed decision about a therapist or coach. The profiles are intentionally succinct, containing all the essential information required to verify qualifications and the identity of the practitioner. For comprehensive details about their practice, clients are encouraged to visit the practitioner’s website, where they can learn more about their services, approach, and specialisations.

A Platform for Practitioners

For practitioners, ACCP offers a robust professional platform designed to enhance their visibility and market their skills effectively. Members can showcase their qualifications, personal websites, blogs, and social media profiles to a targeted audience. This exposure not only helps practitioners attract clients but also fosters a sense of community among professionals in the field.

The ACCPH platform is designed with practitioners in mind, providing tools and resources to support their professional development. We understand that the landscape of counselling, coaching, psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy is ever-evolving, and we are committed to helping our members stay abreast of industry trends and best practices.

Supporting Professional Development

In addition to providing a platform for marketing, ACCP actively supports the continuous professional development of its members. We offer various resources, including workshops, webinars, and networking opportunities, allowing practitioners to enhance their skills and stay informed about the latest developments in their fields.

By fostering a culture of lifelong learning, ACCPH helps ensure that our members remain at the forefront of their professions, equipped to meet the diverse needs of their clients effectively. This commitment to ongoing education is essential in a world where mental health and well-being are increasingly recognised as vital components of overall health.
