ABCAP for Training Providers

Strengthen your reputation with ABCAP accreditation

As a training provider, the quality and credibility of your courses matter. Partnering with the Accrediting Board of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ABCAP) gives your organisation the recognition it deserves while demonstrating to prospective students that your training meets high professional standards

Why seek ABCAP accreditation?

An accreditation from ABCAP tells students, employers, and professionals that your training provision has been independently reviewed and meets the expectations of a recognised accrediting body.

It is more than just a seal of approval — it is a mark of trust.

Independent quality assurance

Every accredited programme undergoes careful review to ensure it is well-structured, up to date, and delivered to an excellent standard.

Enhanced credibility

Accreditation by ABCAP helps you stand out in a competitive market and gives learners confidence in choosing your courses.

Support in promoting your courses

Accredited providers are listed in the ABCAP directory, giving you visibility to thousands of counselling and psychotherapy professionals across the UK.

Stronger learner outcomes

Students can be confident that the training they receive will contribute positively to their professional development and career prospects.
