This Code contains the standards of ethics, practice and conduct which UKCP expects of all practitioners, and which must be followed whatever your modality of practice and whether you meet clients in person, online or otherwise.
The term ‘practitioner’ means an individual UKCP registrant who practises psychotherapy or psychotherapeutic counselling.
The term ‘client’ includes individuals, couples, families or groups who engage in psychotherapy or psychotherapeutic counselling.
Should a concern arise about a practitioner’s practice, it is against these standards that it will be judged under the Complaints and Conduct Process.
