If you are involved in Education, Medicine, Management, Social Work,
etc as well as any form of therapeutic practice, you could benefit from
becoming an Associate Member of the UK Association of Humanistic Psychology
Practitioners
(UKAHPP).
For just £67 per year, UKAHPP Associate members enjoy:
- belonging to the original and dedicated professional association
for Humanistic Psychology practitioners in the UK
- discounts on our annual programme of low-cost workshops, seminars
and events run by Humanistic Practitioners
- a free entry in our Practitioners Directory, online and published,
plus the opportunity to network, advertise and share information
with other Members and the public
- an ethical code rooted in humanistic principles which may support
your existing code of practice
- personal support and information on Ethical matters
- a lively newsletter twice yearly with news of latest developments in counselling and therapy
- free advertising in mailings to members and to the general public, and on the UKAHPP website
- an opportunity to join the
UKAHPP Board or its committees to further the aims of Humanistic
psychology in the UK and abroad
A supported route to accreditation
Associate members may, if they wish,
later apply for accreditation and Full membership of the UKAHPP,
in any of the established accreditation
categories. Associate membership then provides the benefits of workshops
and
a 'buddy' system to assist in applying for accreditation, and
an ethical framework within which to start practising whilst acquiring
the experience
necessary for accreditation. We strongly recommend that potential applicants for Full membership/accreditation first become Associates so that this additional support and advice can be provided. Associates applying for Full membership/
accreditation pay half the usual application fee, and receive
other
discounts.
There is no obligation on Associate members to apply
for accreditation, and you may remain an Associate member without time-limit.
How to apply as an Associate
There is no application fee and no application form. Simply send us a
letter of application describing briefly how you meet criterion 1 below,
and complete the statement referring to criterion 2. As Associate membership
is not a form of accreditation, no supporting evidence is required.
- that
you are currently engaged in work that is connected with humanistic
psychology or that you use humanistic psychology in your work,
- that you subscribe to and adhere to the Ethical
Codes and procedures of UKAHPP; these are also contained in
the Handbook . Please sign, and return with your letter
of application,
the Ethics Statement (Word document).
Additionally, the following personal information should be included:
- your full names (and any abbreviation you prefer)
- home address
- telephone number
- any e-mail address
- date and place of birth
- nationality
- any other languages spoken well enough to work in
- whether you have previously applied to UKAHPP in any capacity (and
if so when).
Also, let us know if you plan to apply later for accreditation as a
Full member. We will then add “working towards accreditation” to
your entry in the Membership Directory.
Your application should be accompanied by the annual membership fee,
which is subsequently payable in January of each year. The annual (January-December)
membership fee is currently £67 (cheque payable to “UKAHPP”).
If your application is received after 1 August, half (£33.50)
of the annual fee is payable. These fees will be returned if your application
is unsuccessful.
UKAHPP encourages applicants to also join
the Association for Humanistic Psychology in Britain (AHPb),
and receive its Self & Society journal – see
the link to AHPb on this website.
