	Both counsellors and psychotherapists work from a variety of theoretical approaches with their clients. These therapies range from the type of psychoanalysis, through humanistic psychotherapy (based on personal growth and self development) to the behavioural therapies used for dealing with specific phobias and anxieties.

	In February 2005 the Department of Health (DH) funded BACP and UKCP to carry out research into the provision of counselling and psychotherapy training in the UK and the standards of that training and the codes of ethics and practice and conduct processes of all registering / accrediting counselling and psychotherapy organisations.
