About the CBT Register UK

Accreditation means that a CBT therapist has both core professional mental health training or recognised equivalent; as well as specific CBT training. In order to be accredited, BABCP and AREBT members must have applied and demonstrated that they meet high standards of training and experience in CBT. They also commit to maintaining our standards of clinical practice, clinical supervision and continuing professional development activities. Accredited members are audited to ensure that they continue to meet these expectations.

The CBT Register UK is a public register of accredited BABCP and AREBT members. The aim of the Register is to protect the public, employers and other agencies by helping them find CBT therapists who have met our required standards.

All members agree to abide by BABCP Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. Complaints about members who may have breached these standards can be made using the complaints and disciplinary process. for BABCP and AREBT members.

All the practitioners listed are accredited members of either the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), which is the lead organisation for CBT in the UK and Ireland, or the Association for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (AREBT).
