Accreditation
Click here for a list of Accreditation FAQs
Accreditation is a way of demonstrating your level of competence as a counsellor. It is an effective way of showing that you are providing a standard of counselling that is worthy of your Christian calling - God's standard of excellence.
Accreditation can be achieved by meeting requirements for training, supervised experience, case studies and references. The application process can be time-consuming (both for you and for us!) but we believe that it reflects the importance of the attainment and it is imperative to raise the profile of Christians in this most important ministry of counselling. 
Becoming an accredited member will not only raise this profile but will enhance your credibility as a counsellor both in the church and in the secular community. Even more vitally, it will help you to know the limits of your competence and ensure the safety of your clients.
