Press office
Information and advice for journalists and members

As the UK's leading professional body for the counselling professions, we are committed to educating the public about the practice and benefits of counselling, and to raising the profile of our members in the media. We know that counselling changes lives and work with the media to ensure that it is represented in a realistic, sensitive and ethical way.

For all media enquiries, please call our press office on 01455 206393 or email media@bacp.co.uk. This service is available during office hours - at other times please leave a voicemail message and we'll get back to you.

Journalist resources

If you are a journalist or programme maker, we can help with information, statistics and expert views about the profession. We also have a bank of spokespeople with a wide range of specialisms within the fields of counselling and psychotherapy. So if you want to ask questions about a particular subject, we're likely to be able to find someone to suit.

Member resources

If you're a BACP member, find out how we can advise and support you in your media work. Or you may want to help us promote the benefits of counselling by becoming a media spokesperson.
