UKCP College for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapies (CCAP) has as its central aim to support the positive health and well-being of children and young people and to relieve their distress and suffering. The focus of all work in the College is on the nature and needs of children rather than on a particular theory or approach. UKCP Child Practitioners are able to communicate with children through art and play, to understand their non-verbal language, identify their developmental needs, and offering guidance to parents, carers and fellow professionals where needed.
UKCP is organised into a number of colleges, each representing a school of thought within psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling.
