Our History

The number of people using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has grown enormously. The Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (NLPtCA) grew out of a desire amongst people using NLP in a purely therapeutic setting to focus on the field of therapy specifically.

The Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association was formed as a 'free standing, not for profit organisation' in July 2002. Previously from 1992, there had been a group called the 'Psychotherapy and Counselling Section' within the Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming (ANLP). This change meant that Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapists and Psychotherapeutic Counsellors have their own identity within the field of psychotherapy. Since 2002 we have had our own robust processes for meeting the stringent criteria for being entered onto the United Kingdom Council Psychotherapy (UKCP) register of psychotherapists.
