Legislation is currently going through Parliament to control the experience and qualification required for all complimentary therapists wanting to practice in the U/K. The timing and implications of this are still fluid, but it seem to be driven by a European wide move to bring complimentary therapy under some common level of regulation. The established major accrediting organisations are actively working with the Government, and in the area of psychotherapy the largest and most influential group is the UKCP (United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy).

For graduates of Regression therapy the only recognised umbrella training organisations that can provide UKCP registration and allow training in Regression Therapy to be counted towards registration are the Humanistic and Transpersonal organisations. Both give flexibility for you to accumulated additional training of your choice in getting to registration. Below are the details for you to plan your own route. I suggest you ensure you get written confirmation of all training and supervision done todate and in the future even if are unsure of what to do. Look carefully at the level of supervision required and the areas of other preferred training required as well as the more obvious total training requirements. I've given contact details of the organisations if you need more information.

Marina Murphy is looking at the requirements for regression training to be an accredited as a separate organisation in its own right based on the experiences of NLP therapists. However this requires a lot of time and effort as well as the desire of the training organisation (Roger) to implement this. At our network meeting we decided to recommend to graduates to use one of the existing umbrella organisation because they provide an existing proven route for U.K.C.P. registration.

Good luck for your future. The amount of training and supervision may seem large but remember the journey is often more important than the destination.
