Welcome to BACP Coaching  
 

BACP Coaching - a division of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

BACP Coaching is the specialist Coaching Division of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the largest professional body in Europe representing counselling and psychotherapy, with over 36,000 members. BACP sets standards for therapeutic practice and provides information for therapists, clients of therapy, and the general public. BACP Coaching promotes ethical, effective and professional coaching for the well being and enhancement of individuals and organisations.  From therapeutic foundations, our coaching members work right across the field of coaching practice, research and academia, including in the domains of personal / life, workplace / executive, education, social care and healthcare.

Established as a Division of BACP in 2010, like other BACP divisions, BACP Coaching is managed by BACP members on a pro bono voluntary basis, and supported by BACP staff.

Our mission is promoting ethical, effective and professional coaching for the well being and enhancement of individuals and organisations.  Our core values are consistent with the BACP Ethical Framework. Specifically, we aim to be: 

  • Transparent and consultative

  • Generative and Innovative

  • Inclusive and collaborative

  • Responsive and supportive

  • Good value for money and financially viable.

Firstly, we aim to create a supportive, generative and informative forum for dialogue, networking, belonging, growing, learning and the development of coach specific professional standards for BACP members. Many of our members embraced coaching some time ago; BACP nows facilitate it as a practice area more explicitly.  

Secondly, we aim to provide quality information about coaching to clients and purchasers of coaching and related services, particularly where those services are underpinned or informed by therapeutic principles.

Current projects going on within BACP Coaching include:

  • Growing our regional and local networking events for BACP members interested in coaching. See "local events" page for details.

  • Exploring how the existing BACP Ethical Framework sits within coaching.
  • Preparing for the launch of our quarterly Journal "Coaching Today", launching in January 2012.
  • Putting together information and advice about coach training, and mapping out the various options with the aim of providing some signposts for our members

More projects are going on behind the scenes, details will be posted here as available.

We have an online forum for the coaching division on www.linkedin.com.  Please note that this group is only for BACP members.
