Accreditation Mentoring

“Accreditation schemes aim to recognise the achievement of high standards of knowledge, experience and development in counselling and psychotherapy.” (BACP)

Going for accreditation is a hurdle which many therapists can put off for months or even years. You may be under pressure from your employer to become accredited or be frustrated by doors kept shut to you in private practice. But procrastination, fearful thinking and general confusion about the process can make you delay.

Just like our clients reach out for support, you may need some help in starting your application process and pushing through until you have achieved your goal.

Whatever your therapeutic approach, Accreditation Mentoring can help you:

• Access tailored 1:1 support from an experienced mentor
• Acknowledge your personal obstacles to applying and find ways to move past them
• Overcome doubts, peer fear and those horrible feelings of not knowing where to start or how to keep going
• Talk through your answers to tease out your knowledge and help shape your reflective 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

Accreditation is a one-off step in your career and it is worth investing to get the best result first time. For all our services we are reading over 6000 words for your written submission and checking them against the BACP criteria to provide detailed feedback.

Step by step guidance through the whole process with a 1hr (or 2 x ½ hours) zoom call and email follow up. Includes a copy of the Complete BACP Application Guide e-book.

£350 paid in full at the start, or in instalments.

Fast Track is for you if you want to get your application done quickly (within a month) with intensive support via zoom and with detailed email feedback. Includes a copy of the Complete BACP Application Guide e-book.

£500 paid in full at the start, or in instalments.

Make sure you get your deferral re-submission right with specific support. Either under the old scheme (pre October 23) or the new one.

£100 per hour or £50 per half hour.

Please note:

All these services are only available for the BACP accreditation process. We are not working with other professional bodies at the moment, and are only offering support for the accreditation process, not the senior scheme. 

We have a very high success rate for helping therapists complete accreditation but there are always exceptions. The transition scheme is new so there may be teething problems within the assessment process. We will do everything we can to ensure you are successful first time around and can offer support if you are deferred on one or more criteria.
