For the Public- View the Register

Looking for a counsellor, psychotherapist or clinical supervisor in Ireland? The Irish Counselling & Psychotherapy Association (ICPA) maintains a public, verified Accredited Register you can search online. Listings include Pre-Accredited practitioners (working towards full accreditation), Accredited practitioners, and Accredited Supervisors, alongside student and allied mental healthcare professionals. Start with the register search, then use filters to refine by location (county), online consultations, and areas of practice. Each profile typically shows professional tags and a membership number, making it easier to compare options and check that a practitioner is listed in the appropriate category. You can also look for specialities, fees and whether sessions are offered in person or online. Because listings are thoroughly verified, the register is a practical first step when choosing a professional who aligns with recognised standards and the ICPA Code of Ethics. If you have any questions, contact ICPA before booking and choose the right fit.
