NCS | Training Outside of the UK

We have officially changed our name to the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society!

Information for members

As of the 15th of May 2023, we have officially changed our name to the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Our new and improved website is coming soon!

It's important to note that overseas training courses do not provide access to the Accredited Register for students completing training.

The Professional Standards Authority’s (PSA) accredited register programme applies to the UK only, and neither ourselves nor the PSA have any jurisdiction overseas. Instead, where 'Approved Overseas' training has been completed, graduates will be listed on the Overseas Members Directory. Overseas Quality Checked courses can be considered for anything from individual workshops, shorter foundation courses, specialist trainings or distance learning courses.
