I would recommend the NCPS to any counsellor

“I would recommend the NCPS to any counsellor thinking of joining a professional body. It genuinely puts its members at the heart of its work, and I feel connected, respected and supported. It’s refreshing that NCPS staff are only an email or a call away. I’m delighted to be so well looked after."

Every person I’ve had the pleasure of talking to has taken time and effort to ensure I’ve felt supported. It’s a wonderful organisation."
