Wellspring is a member of the Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) – membership number A00111.  As part of the ACC, we are listed on their Accredited Register, which is vetted by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). This membership confirms that we meet PSA standards and reflects our commitment to delivering a high-quality service to everyone we are in contact with.

Additionally, all our qualified counsellors are individual members of a professional counselling body that meets PSA requirements. Student counsellors on placement are enrolled on a Wellspring approved training course that meets the educational standards of the ACC (or an equivalent organisation). These measures ensure our continued commitment to offering accountable, ethical and professional counselling services.

Wellspring is a partner in Harrogate & District’s Route One to Wellness.
