GBPCA Accredited Courses

GBPCA Accredited Course Finder

Courses of study that meet GBPCA accreditation standards must primarily focus on psychology and counselling. Registered professionals are required to be able to perform significant, in-depth therapeutic work with their clients using various therapeutic approaches. These skills must extend beyond theoretical knowledge and be firmly grounded in evidence-based practices.

While numerous training providers deliver counselling courses, GBPCA lists only those courses that have attained GBPCA Accredited Course status. The GBPCA Accredited Course Finder lists all GBPCA-accredited courses.

Study Options

Deciding to pursue a career in psychology and counselling can be difficult, given the array of courses available. Psychology and counselling are not regulated by the government—they are self-regulated professions through peak bodies such as the GBPCA. This means that no specific courses are required for recognition as a professional in this field.

However, it is essential to select a course that not only equips you with the necessary skills to practice as a psychologist or counsellor but also enables you to become a registered practitioner. Registration plays a significant role in your professional recognition once you’ve completed your training.

GBPCA’s primary mission is to ensure the registration of psychologists and counsellors, providing the public access to highly trained professionals who adhere to stringent accountability and self-regulation standards.

If you’re uncertain about training as a psychologist or counsellor, consulting the GBPCA Accredited Course Finder is essential to verify whether the training meets the registration requirements
