The Regional Committees of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) play a vital role in supporting members throughout the different regions in Ireland.
These committees provide local representation, foster professional development, and create opportunities for networking within the counselling and psychotherapy community. By organising events, workshops, and discussions, they ensure that members stay connected and engaged while upholding the highest standards of practice. Each region has its own dedicated committee, working to address the unique needs of professionals in their area.
