The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a professional body and registered charity representing Christian counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. The register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Following the ACC's most recent annual check in October 2022, we issued two Conditions of Accreditation. In February 2023 we found that the ACC had met the Conditions. You can read our report on those Conditions.

A targeted review is currently underway for the ACC. We undertake a targeted review when we need to do a more in-depth review into how a Register is meeting one or more Standards. The findings of the review will be published on this page when completed. You can read more about the targeted review process at: https://professionalstandards.org.uk/docs/default-source/accredited-registers/guidance-documents/annual-review-process-guide.pdf?sfvrsn=e5c7220_19

Remember to always use our check a practitioner tool to make sure that practitioners are regulated or registered.
