Accreditation CriteriaAwaken School is a Training and Accrediting member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). The School provides a training pathway for students who wish to train to become UKCP accredited psychotherapists.
UKCP
The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) exists to promote and maintain the art and science of psychotherapy and high standards in the practice of psychotherapy for the benefit of the public, throughout the United Kingdom. The National Register of Psychotherapists is published annually and only psychotherapists who meet the training requirements of UKCP and abide by its ethical guidelines are included. There are at present over 80 member organisations, Awaken School being one of them, and over 6,000 registrants. They are grouped together in autonomous Sections representing all the main traditions in the practice of psychotherapy. In a few short years UKCP has evolved into being the indispensable national umbrella organisation for all the psychotherapeutic modalities. Registration is also important in the wider setting of the European Community. UKCP represents the United Kingdom in the European Association of Psychotherapy based in Vienna, which sets standards for equivalence of training and practice throughout Europe, and is the national umbrella organisation overseeing the award of the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP) in the UK.
Hypnopsychotherapy Section
Hypno-Psychotherapy originates in procedures and practices discovered and recorded over the last three hundred years. The first formal exploration and beneficial application of hypnotic phenomena began in the 1750s. Increasing awareness, over the last 100 years, of the pervasiveness and importance in human experience of what are now more appropriately described as 'altered state phenomena' has led to huge shifts in theoretical understanding, convergence with discoveries emerging from modern neuro-science and much increased consistency in application. This has been accompanied by the creation of a substantial scientific literature.
Training Standards
Awaken School has developed a pathway that better meets Section and UKCP training standards and this pathway has been accepted by Section as fulfilling the requirements for students to be placed on the UKCP register. Details of how Awaken School now fulfils those standards can be found in the document "Pathway to Accreditation" which is available as a free download towards the bottom of this page.
Please also note, the pathway may be liable to change at any time if required to meet revised training requirements of either Section or the UKCP.
