Check ACC register

All ACC counselling members must meet the required standards of registration. This register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health & Social Care, which is an independent body accountable to Parliament.

You can search our register to find out if a particular counsellor or psychotherapist is registered with ACC.

If a counsellor is not on our register, it may be because

they have not applied to be a registered member of ACC
they have discontinued their ACC membership
they are an overseas member of ACC who has not yet joined the register
they are a trainee counsellor on a placement
they have been removed from our register (please check this page for removals, suspensions and sanctions)

If you have any questions about our register, please contact us.

If you are wanting to have counselling/psychotherapy, you can use our directory to find a suitable counsellor/psychotherapist.

If a counsellor behaves in a way that falls short of the standards set out in the Ethics and Practice, there may be grounds for complaint to ACC or any other counselling membership body that they belong to.
