About SCPTI
SCPTI was established in 1991 as a therapy training institute. We are now based in a beautiful Victorian building near to the South Beach once owned by Lord Beeforth, Mayor of Scarborough in the 1890s. Our primary aim is to benefit the public welfare and further the advancement of public education, by developing a range of activities in counselling and psychotherapy. We promote a rigorous professionalism grounded in excellence in practice and concern, compassion and humanity, both in the provision of skilled practitioner services and professional training. By streamlining administration and staffing, we keep our fee structure as competitive as possible - offering high quality professional accredited training at the most reasonable rates in the UK. SCPTI has for several years been developing links with the community through the provision of clinical support to the employees of the borough council, commercial organisations and the local mental health services. In the next few years we intend to expand and extend our range of specialist clinical services. SCPTI is a full member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and, therefore, provides accredited training that enables our graduates to enter the UKCP national register of professional therapists.
