Directory Details

As part of membership, your name, region and membership number will appear in our Practitioner Directory. If you would like additional details to show, please complete them below.

For practitioners wanting to use the term ‘counselling/counsellor and/or therapy/therapist’ you will be required to have completed and graduated from a counselling or psychotherapy practitioner training course. Your course must have involved at least 400 hours classroom-based tutor contact. You must also have completed a supervised placement of at least 100 client contact hours as an integral part of your course.

Your placement hours must have been:

carried out with genuine clients, rather than, for example peers from your course
in an appropriate setting with appropriate clients. Counselling services are an ideal setting as they are likely to assess whether clients are suitable for your level of competence. Your training provider should not allow placement hours through private practice or with client groups that have not been pre-assessed as suitable - such as children and young people or those with complex mental health needs.
assessed (or marked) as an integral part of your training
supervised. Supervision is important at all stages of seeing clients.

PLEASE NOTE: Your course must have involved at least 400 hours of classroom-based tutor contact to advertise as a counsellor. Visit our publication policy
