Which Qualification is right for me?

Therapy North holds BACP Organisational Membership and our training team is led by BACP Registered Therapists who are also fully qualified Teachers. Some of our qualifications may be eligible for funding.

The qualifications can be done individually or as part of a progression route of consecutive qualifications designed to guide individuals, with no previous experience, toward meeting the criteria needed to join the UK’s leading counselling professional membership associations and begin working with clients. Becoming a member of one of the counselling professional membership associations, that are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), indicates to prospective clients that the counsellor has the appropriate training and skills required.

You can choose to start your qualifications at any level if you have the right qualifications and experience. Get in touch to discuss your circumstances and we will help you choose the right qualification and starting point for you.
