BACP - British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy

Created by Enquiries Red Alert, Modified on Mon, 20 Mar 2023 at 12:55 AM by Enquiries Red Alert

BACP is a membership organisation and a registered charity that sets standards for therapeutic practice and provides information for therapists, clients of therapy, and the general public.


In 1978 the headquarters was moved from London to Rugby courtesy of the National Marriage Guidance Council which provided free accommodation to help the association establish itself.


In September 2000, the Association recognised that it no longer represented just counselling, but also psychotherapy. It changed its name to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
