Counselling membership
We are a Christian professional counselling and psychotherapy body that works with other professional bodies and stakeholders to enhance the safety of members of the public seeking counselling services. We are committed to reducing the stigma relating to mental health, and to promoting the value of access to counsellors and psychotherapists who identify as Christian. If you value being part of such an organisation, we would be delighted to welcome your application to become a member.
If you are currently studying a course on counselling or psychotherapy, you are welcome to join us as a student counsellor member. If you are studying with an ACC counselling training organisational member, you will get a discounted membership fee.
Being on the ACC register is a mark of quality standards and professionalism. We welcome applications from eligible individuals to become a registered counsellor member. You can find out more about our register here.

In this they will be supported by professional colleagues, especially trainers and supervisors, who play an important part in the ongoing formation of a therapist.
We welcome applications from counselling organisations and we offer two types of membership:
The fees are effective from 1 January 2024.
