NCPS directory
NCPS directory and your website
NCPS is its own membership body—we do not join for you, submit a directory profile, or invent their join fee. We build the practice website an NCPS listing should link to: NCPS named only when you hold it, fee and services in HTML, no BACP or UKCP wording borrowed for familiarity. Linden Walk is a designed example domain, not an NCPS profile or proof of membership.
Example bespoke sites
Linden Walk is a designed example in Edinburgh. It is not an NCPS directory listing or membership proof.

No borrowed BACP line.

Under the surface
NCPS directory in data.
This block is on the page because NCPS gets confused with BACP copy. The sample Service names NCPS membership on your domain, not directory submission.

"serviceType": "Websites beside an NCPS directory profile",
"description": "Domain with NCPS line and fee the listing should match, no submission SKU"
}The website we deliver
Name the body you actually hold
If NCPS is your membership, the about page says NCPS with a link to NCPS—not BACP member lines or UKCP register phrases copied for symmetry.
The Professional Standards Authority explains accredited registers; that describes schemes, not a personal badge we pin on your homepage. We do not rank NCPS against BACP on your site.
| On your site | Left off |
|---|---|
| NCPS membership when true today | Another body’s title for comfort |
| Link to NCPS for membership facts | A homemade crest graphic |
| Fee and session length in HTML | Price on request only on the listing |
| Their join cost on their site | A membership fee we invented |
| Listing points at your URL | Their page as your only web home |
You maintain the listing; we publish the destination
Directory fields are short—the site carries who you see, how enquiries work, and the fee in copy a visitor can read without logging into NCPS.
Wider credential rules: presenting therapy credentials clearly and BACP directory and your website when BACP is the body you hold instead.
Therapy Search UK is a separate free directory, not Therapist Website Studio—if you list there, repeat the same title, fee and NCPS line as on your domain.
Structured data matches the visible membership line
Answer engines that hunt for a single “best register” sentence will not find a league table here—structured data repeats the membership and services the paragraphs show.
Ethical public descriptions of costs and methods sit in BACP’s ethical framework for many counsellors; your approved words still have to match NCPS membership facts you hold.
Website price, not NCPS join fee
The site an NCPS profile should link to is built in counsellor website design at £149 setup and £49 a month for 12 months, then £39; Prices include VAT.
Standard Managed is £149 setup and £49 a month for 12 months, then Website Care at £39. Growth Managed is £249 and £69 a month, then £49, when each real service needs its own page. We do not pay NCPS membership, complete their directory form, or sell an NCPS-branded site tier. Outright is £650 or £995. Website Care updates your HTML when fee or status changes—you keep the NCPS login and submit profile edits yourself.
