Coalitions & Partnerships # Working together to strengthen counselling & psychotherapy

The NCPS works in partnership with a range of organisations, coalitions, and professional groups to help shape policy, uphold and develop standards, and support positive change across the counselling & psychotherapy profession, as well as more broadly within mental health. By contributing our expertise and working alongside others, we hope to create a better world for our members, the wider profession, and the people they support. We are active participants in all of these groups, and constantly try to uphold our values of connection, collaboration, and community-building.
