Psychotherapists and Postgraduate Counsellors may be eligible for membership but please contact natoffice@bscah.co.uk with details of your CV and training, who will then pass your application to the Education Committee for decision.

Holding a degree in psychology is NOT in itself a clinical qualification and BSCAH does not accept hypnotherapy qualifications as clinical qualifications.

For those who wish to pursue research rather than clinical interests, a degree in psychology IS acceptable and those with first or further degrees who are pursuing academic careers fulfil the criteria of eligibility for membership.
