Description

The UKCP's purpose is to promote the art and science of psychotherapy for the public benefit; to promote research and education in psychotherapy and disseminate the results of any such research; and to promote (or assist in the promotion, preservation and protection of public health by encouraging) high standards of training and practice in psychotherapy and the wider provision of psychotherapy for the public benefit.

There are many different training courses for psychotherapists and the number and variety of them can sometimes seem bewildering. UKCP does not itself provide training but one of its functions is to approve trainings and most of the Member Organisations of the UKCP are involved in training, either running training courses themselves or accrediting trainings in many different kinds of psychotherapy.
