| AdminHistory | Counselling Psychology was set up as a Section of the British Psychological Society in December 1981 with its first meeting in January 1982 under the Chairmanship of Richard Nelson-Jones and Stephen Murgatroyd as the honorary Treasurer. There were 200 members initially with 450 by December 1985. A working party was set up to consider the case for applying to form a Division of Counselling Psychology the same year. This was because within the BPS divisions had some overview on training and qualifications. A working party of the Section was set up to consider the 'Essential Components in a Training Course for Counselling Psychologists.
There were 850 members by the end of 1987 and as the first step to becoming a Division - the Section applied for Special Group status in 1988 which was agreed by the Society in March 1989. The BPS Special Group in Counselling Psychology Group worked very closely with the BPS Membership and Qualifications Board to draft recommendations for a diploma in Counselling Psychology.
In 1992 the Special Group at last achieved their goal of a Diploma in Counselling Psychology and started the process to become a division [see BPS/02/02/02 BPS Division of Counselling Psychology DCOP] with an extraordinary meeting held in January 1994 which was ratified at the Society's AGM which also voted in favour of the title 'Chartered Counselling Psychologist'. |
