ACC is proud to be part of the Partnership of Counselling and Psychotherapy Bodies (PCPB) and welcomes the launch of an independently chaired Commission for the Future of Counselling and Psychotherapy. The Commission will hold a series of four structured, thematic roundtable sessions, with the first one taking place on 16 October 2025. The sessions will bring together voices from across the sector, decision-makers and those with lived experience.
