Welcome from Lynette Harborne, Chair, APS

Welcome to the new APSCC website. APSCC (The Association for Pastoral & Spiritual Care & Counselling) is concerned not only with those who work as counsellors and psychotherapists, chaplains or pastoral carers within faith communities but, far more broadly, with all those in the counselling and psychotherapy field who take spirituality seriously and wish to take their clients' spirituality seriously! Through our journal, Thresholds, and through lively conferences we hold open a place of conversation for those from a wide variety of spiritual and therapeutic beliefs. A place where, for example, an agnostic person-centred therapist and a Catholic Jungian can both be at home- and can enrich each other! Where the tradition of pastoral care is taken seriously and its wisdom can be drawn on.

If you are already a member or are considering whether this is the division for you please read on. Our membership has grown rapidly in recent years and, again and again, new members say ‘This is what I've been looking for'. Do join in with the conversation!
