Online & Phone Counselling CompetenciesIn today’s digital age, online and phone counselling within the profession has become increasingly evident.

This CPD short course has been designed to align to the BACP Online and Phone Therapy (OPT) competency framework. It is a framework and curriculum to support training and practice in online and phone therapy (formerly telephone and e-counselling competences and curricula).
