The ICP is the National Awarding Organisation (NAO) for the European Association of Psychotherapy (EAP). Accreditation standards set by ACAP are aligned with those of both the ICP and EAP. Accredited ACAP Members are also members of the ICP, Irish Council for Psychotherapyhttps://psychotherapycouncil.ie/. Upon successful accreditation with ACAP, accredited members are eligible to apply for the European Certificate of Psychotherapy via the EAP/ICP, though this process is independent of ACAP and done on an individual basis.ACAP are also an Organisational Member of the European Federation of Art Therapy, https://www.arttherapyfederation.eu/ and are registered as a National Association in Ireland.
