The UK Council for Psychotherapy is the leading organisation for psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors in the UK. Alongside offering professional support for our members we regulate the profession and promote access to psychotherapy for all.

At UKCP, we want to see mental and emotional wellness fully realised as a human right.

Psychotherapy can help us in profound ways, not only in solving immediate issues but in transforming the way we think, feel and behave. It can unlock our potential by improving our relationship with ourselves and with others. This not only benefits the individuals receiving therapy, it also impacts their families, friends, colleagues and communities.
