findatherapist.co.uk verified monthly

These websites are babcp.com, bacp.co.uk, bpc.org.uk, bps.org.uk, cosrt.org.uk, hcpc-uk.org, nationalcounsellingsociety.org and psychotherapy.org.uk. findatherapist.co.uk checks therapists statuses by their names and membership numbers when professional bodies publish them. findatherapist.co.uk removes therapists who no longer have these statuses. These monthly checks ensure all therapists are recognised as therapists by professional bodies, are bound by a professional conduct code of a professional body, and have attained the higher level membership types granted by professional bodies - accredited/chartered/registered. findatherapist.co.uk records and displays the length of time therapists have been on findatherapist.co.uk. This enables people to see how long therapists have been known and trusted by findatherapist.co.uk.

findatherapist.co.uk verifies reviews by only publishing reviews from clients who have used findatherapist.co.uk to contact therapists and attended at least two sessions. findatherapist.co.uk invites reviews from clients and therapists can decide not to send these invites when it would be inappropriate to do so. Therapists can invite reviews from clients. findatherapist.co.uk only edits reviews when readability improvements are required and never to change their meaning. These reviews enable clients to have a voice and share their experiences in plain language. findatherapist.co.uk verifies therapists' client engagement rates based on enquirers who have used findatherapist.co.uk to contact therapists and therapists' updates as to whether they attended 0, 1 or more sessions. These engagement rates provide transparency about how well therapists engage with clients.
