To maintain the highest standards of professionalism and client safety, all counsellor memberships are subject to a manual verification process before access to the platform is granted. Once you’ve completed your registration and membership purchase, our team will review your application, professional credentials and supporting information. Verification is typically completed within 24–48 hours, after which you’ll receive an email confirming that your account has been approved and activated. This process helps ensure every professional listed on The Counselling Network is genuine, appropriately qualified and committed to providing safe, ethical and high-quality counselling services.
