ICP Therapists are Different to Counsellors Because
..they must spend over three times as long in education and training to become psychotherapists and meet the ICP minimum requirements.
ICP Therapists are Different to Psychologists Because
..in fact psychotherapists often have a basis in psychology. The majority graduate with at least a primary degree in psychology but must then go on to a further four years of study and training before they can practice independently as psychotherapists.
ICP Therapists are Different to Other Psychotherapists Because
They are the only Irish group who can award the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP), conferred on behalf of the European Association for Psychotherapy.
We are highlighting this, as we have to rely on international standards of excellence in the absence of State regulation in Ireland. The ICP is active in working towards putting the profession on a legal footing in Ireland. Meanwhile our members are a link and a guarantee of the most exacting standards in Europe being met.
