What’s the difference between BACP and BACP?
CPCAB is an awarding organisation – also known as an awarding body or examination board which awards qualifications – whereas BACP is a professional membership body which represents the interests of counselling. BACP course accreditation is recognised by training providers, employers and students as the mark of a high quality, professional practitioner training course. For prospective counsellors and psychotherapists, it guarantees a standard of training accepted for BACP membership, registration and accreditation. All practising members of BACP must join the Register or be working towards registration. To become a registered member, a therapist must either have passed a BACP-accredited training course or our own Certificate of Proficiency. Joining the BACP Register demonstrates that you meet high standards of proficiency, professionalism and ethical practice. Increasingly employers and clients are checking the Register when recruiting or choosing a therapist.

Accreditation is a quality standard for experienced practitioners, designed to recognise your capacity for independent, ethical and competent practice. BACP accreditation schemes aim to recognise the achievement of high standards of knowledge, experience and development in counselling and psychotherapy. They help clients, employers, practitioners and students to make an informed decision when choosing a therapist, service or training course. However, the BACP accreditation process is a very well thought out initiation into the higher echelons of counselling and psychotherapeutic practice. I highly recommend it as a process to fellow practitioners for fundamental personal and professional self-development.

Which is better BACP or UKCP?

They are the two main and the largest registering bodies in the UK. There are currently no laws in the UK regarding counselling and psychotherapy. However guidelines recommend that, in order to practice, counsellors should have completed at least an appropriate diploma, or completed a course that was a minimum of 400 hours therapy training. Is there Demand in the UK for Occupational Therapists? Yes. Although there are currently over 41,000 occupational therapists working in the UK, there’s still a large shortage with the role being included on the UK’s Shortage Occupations List.
