Accreditation Mentoring
"UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) membership is the hallmark for high standards of training, professional and ethical practice. It demonstrates to potential clients and employers the standards of training and practice achieved, and opens the door to a range of professional services and networks." (UKCP)
Going for accreditation is the precursor to Full Clinical UKCP Membership, and is a hurdle which many therapists can put off for months or even years.
You may be under pressure from your employer or be frustrated by the doors that are kept shut to you in private practice without it.
But procrastination, fearful thinking and overwhelm even at the thought of starting it are all reasons you might keep delaying.
Confusion around the transition scheme and the new SCoPEd competencies might even be holding you back.
​

That’s all ok and it’s pretty common! It’s a big deal going for your accreditation but you’re not alone.
Just like our clients come to us for support when they need it, so you may need some support to start the process and keep you going until you have achieved your goal.
Whatever your therapeutic approach, Accreditation Mentoring can help you:
​
-
Have 1:1 support from an experienced mentor, taking you step by step through the whole application process.
-
Acknowledge your personal obstacles and find ways to move past them, whether they are practical, mental or even emotional.
-
Overcome delays, doubts, confusion, peer fear and those horrible feelings of not knowing where to start or how to keep going.
-
Get asked the right questions to help tease out your knowledge and experience and start to shape your answers
-
Create a plan with SMART deadlines to keep you moving through from start to finish.
-
Have your own cheerleader offering motivation, reassurance and guidance throughout
