The National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists is well positioned to enable and support practitioners in this developing and ever increasingly well evidenced field, in a manner underpinned with an ethos of robust public protection and self-reflection at all levels. 

We were  formed in 1971, which makes it one of the longest established societies of its type in the UK. We are a register of and national association of therapists, to whom individuals looking for Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Coaches and Hypnotherapists may confidently refer.

The NCIP is dedicated to advancing the development of quality, service driven integrative and Multimodal Psychotherapy provision. This is illustrated by working models at solution focused, holistic and specialist levels of professional therapy service and is characterised by evidence based yet holistic working practices. 

Most schools of psychological thought are represented within our current membership and a wide variety of therapeutic approaches are offered. We do not legislate against any model of therapy, providing the practitioner comes under the classification of psychotherapist and  is suitably qualified to our standards.

To become a member of the NCIP, evidence of training, knowledge and experience, together with character testimonials, must be submitted. This ensures that by sourcing a therapist from our membership, individuals will be choosing an established practitioner with accredited training and skills to support them.

In addition, all our members are bound by a published Code of Ethics & Conduct, management advisers and an external moderator. We also have a mandatory requirement that each member is insured for both professional indemnity and public liability according to the country of their practice. These safeguards are put in place for the protection of the public.
