The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) is a membership organisation and a registered charity that sets standards for therapeutic practice and provides information for therapists, clients of therapy, and the general public. BACP has over 33,500 members who are counsellors and/or psychotherapists who work to BACP standards set out in the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

BACP believes it is important that people understand what counselling and psychotherapy is about and what they should expect from the process of therapy. Raising awareness among society is therefore an essential aim for the organisation.
