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 media enquiries, please call 07766 700417 or email media@bacp.co.uk.

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.
