BACP divisions
Representing and promoting specialist areas of interest within the profession

Our divisions are networks of occupational groups or special areas of interests, which actively support us to promote their sector. Each division is managed by an executive committee of volunteers which run their own meetings and formulate strategies in line with BACP objectives, overseen by the BACP Board of Governors.

Divisional membership is of value to anyone working within these specific fields of counselling. Each division publishes a quarterly journal and provides member-only benefits, including specialist resources and events.
