Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
IACP HQ

Our Association was established in 1981 to identify, develop and maintain professional standards of excellence in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Our work promotes best practice and the development of the profession. As a registered Charity (CHY 6615) representing over 4,700 members, we are the largest Counselling and Psychotherapy Association in Ireland. 

What We Do

We are a link between those looking for Counselling/Psychotherapy and those who provide Counselling/Psychotherapy. In addition, we provide information and set and maintain practice and training standards. We represent Counselling/Psychotherapy at both national and international levels. Much of our work involves developing high standards in the profession of Counselling/Psychotherapy. The IACP has established a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Practice. IACP also partners with other National and International Counselling and Psychotherapy Associations to advance the development of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
