Our Purpose
WHAT
The Association of Trauma Informed Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ATICP) is a group of UK counsellors, psychotherapists, hypnotherapists and other helping professionals who reject the un-evidenced medical model of “mental disorder” — and promote a psychosocial understanding of human distress as a response to adverse experiences.
HOW
Our register aims to provide a single place where the public can check that a qualified therapist on an accredited register will work in a non-pathologising way.
