About Us
About IPSIG
IPSIG stands for Independent Practitioners Special Interest Group we are a branch of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. We are a growing resource of information for cognitive therapists. We are also a trusted source if you are searching for an accredited therapist - Find A Therapist.
Here at the IPSIG we recognise that Independent Practitioners are a creative, diverse bunch that enjoy the freedom of thinking outside traditional service delivery parameters when it comes to providing the best care for our patients.
The articles you will find on this site reflect these values and whether you are contemplating independent practice or have already found your niche we hope that you will find the content challenging, thought provoking and relevant to your work experience. We really want to encourage a dialogue with our members so please feel free to comment and if there are topics that you would like to see covered or would like to share your practice experiences with us we would be delighted to hear from you - Get In Touch.

Feedback from the IPSIG Committee
With Regard To The Draft Strategic Plan
This feedback is informed by a Survey Monkey survey of our membership and a consultation we held as part of a training day on May 11th 2019. The survey asked very general, open questions and was intended to canvas for ideas and suggestions rather than identify what proportion of our membership would support specific proposals. Whilst the proposals below are informed by the survey and training day, they represent the collective opinion of the IPSIG Committee.
