Categories of Organisational Membership
We welcome organisations comprising two people or more, which do not provide counselling services, but do share our values and ethos and work within the wider field of wellbeing and mental health.
Being an Organisational Member does not confer a mark of accreditation or approval by the Society. Instead, it functions more as a partnership of reciprocal support and encouragement.
The benefits of organisational membership are mutual support, sharing of communications where relevant, and the ability to work together on projects and keep each other informed.
*Please note, if your Organisation offers counselling/psychotherapy services, please read the information below on how to apply to be a Recognised Counselling Service.
Fees
- Annual membership for charities, voluntary or not-for-profit organisations is £100
- Annual membership for commercial/profit-making organisations is £200
A Recognised Counselling Service (RCS) is an organisation of two people or more, which provides direct counselling / psychotherapy services and has at least one Registrant on the Society's Accredited Register. Gaining this status is a mark of quality and recognition offered by the Society.

- Public liability and professional indemnity insurance
- Contract of employment for therapists
- EDI policy
- GDPR policy
- Complaints procedure, which must include details of an Independent Complaints Reviewer
- Safeguarding policy. This must clearly outline procedures that cover vulnerable adults and children, if applicable to the service

- Student placement policy and contracts (if applicable)
- Confirmation that DBS checks are in place for all staff working with vulnerable adults/CYP
- Confirmation that all therapists are on a PSA Accredited Register
- The service being in operation for a minimum of one year
Fees

Please note: assessment fees are non-refundable
Organisational members who run, for example, a library of counselling or psychotherapy related resources for counsellors can get in touch with us to find out about our Trusted Resource recognition. Trusted Resource recognition cannot be applied to training courses, regular training events or any activities that would otherwise require training provider recognition. It can be applied to things like short one-off lectures, journal articles/reference libraries, guest speakers events etc.
Resources must be high quality (evidenced by positive, legitimate customer reviews) and be produced by relevant qualified/experienced professionals. The organisation must have a robust privacy policy and relevant insurance (if applicable) in place. A random sampling of content will be verified by a Society Officer.
To apply please contact us.
