“I found it a delightful process working towards completing the application. Since joining I have been constantly enthused by the regular newsletter that stimulates me to think about my own practise. Other opportunities have opened up for me through the Society and I am looking forward to being engaged with that process in the future.
This was a very good move for me and I am really grateful to my supervisor for her suggestion.”

“Being a member of the National Counselling Society has made me even prouder to be a Therapist and consolidated the process of accreditation into meaningful and achievable steps. In contrast to some other associated societies, it makes the members feel part of a community of 'people', rather than another statistical 'tick-box'. I am proud to be a Counsellor and associated with the National Counselling Society!”

“My decision to become a member of The National Counselling Society was due to the fact that not only were my current qualifications considered valuable but also my past profession as a Social Worker. My work as a social worker, both as a generic and family team worker, provided me with a wealth of "coal face" experience that has been invaluable as a counsellor and The National Counselling Society could clearly see the link between the two professions. I am extremely proud to be an accredited member and value the regular contact I have with the Society.”

“I found The National Counselling Society website purely by accident. I read it and it changed my life. I had found a counselling organisation which was looking at what I gave of myself not just what I had learned over the years. Their personal vocational way of looking at counselling felt warm and welcoming and I am now an accredited member. Something I could not afford in a previous counselling membership.
I feel like I belong to an organisation which cares about me and my clients and is not a gigantic UNION.”

“I was so impressed with the Professional approach of this organisation that I decided to become an Accredited Member. What I liked most about their approach was the "whole" approach they accepted when applying for membership, which included not only Professional Development and Training Undertaken, but they were interested in all the Personal Development work as well. I feel this is so important in our field when working with the sensitive issues of our clients. Thank You for the opportunity to add this comment.”

“I’ve just recently become a member of the National Counselling Society and have already been approached by a magazine for essential services to promote my business - this wasn’t an area that I thought about but seeing as I have a background in nursing it would be very fitting to offer my services in this line of work as daily I have gone through what these valuable members of staff have experienced. They picked up my details from the Counselling Society webpage.”

“I find the National Counselling Society keeps me up-to-date via regular emails, so if there are jobs, announcements or advice, I get them now, not 2 months later in an environmentally-unfriendly, chunky journal.
Your administrative staff are pleasant and an email response is usually received within hours.
I am delighted to have joined the NCS.”

“Being a member of the National Counselling Society has been a very positive experience. I was made to feel of value from the start, and received the sort of help in becoming a member that other organisations don't even talk about. I am kept informed on all important issues on counselling and therapy, and have attended an interesting and well organised CPD courses which I considered to be of excellent value. I cannot praise the society high enough. Thank you NCS.”
