Message from the Chair

Andrew Reeves "You might remember from the end of last year the series of three videos, in which BACP Chief Executive, Hadyn Williams and I talked to Anthony Crouch about the history of BACP, counselling regulation, core values and our shared vision for the future direction of the Association.

We've just uploaded another series of three videos to the website for you to view, this time exploring the subject of counselling research, the relationship between research and practice, and how research has informed our practice.

Watch the counselling research videos here."
