Membership Agreement

1. Membership Commitment to the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct Agreement

When a member applies or renews their membership, they agree to follow the rules and conditions of the NCIP Register. This means they must adhere to the NCIP's ethical guidelines for psychotherapy professions for as long as they are members.

The declaration for all membership types is as follows:

I hereby submit my application for membership with the NATIONAL COUNCIL OF INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPISTS and affirm that all information I have provided is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I commit to upholding the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists' Code of Ethics and the Membership Agreement.

I confirm that, at the time of my application or renewal, I have disclosed to the NCIP any practice review hearings, disciplinary procedures, or complaints made against me by clients, other professional bodies, or my employer(s). I understand that such disclosures do not necessarily exclude me from becoming a member. I agree to inform the NCIP if this changes throughout my membership with NCIP.

I acknowledge the importance of continuous professional development, peer support, and clinical supervision. As a member of the NCIP, I will ensure I hold sufficient professional indemnity and public liability insurance, understanding that failure to maintain such insurance may lead to the termination of my membership.

I have reviewed and agree to the Privacy Policy.

I understand that membership of the NCIP register is conditional upon the discretion of the council, which retains the authority to decline applications that are incomplete or fail to meet established entry criteria. The membership criteria can be found Here. 

I am aware that all necessary documentation must be provided to the NCIP at the outset and updated as relevant. Should my application or renewal be unsuccessful, I understand that I have the right to challenge the decision through the NCIP's Appeals Process.
