UKCP CPD requirements explained
UKCP does not specify a fixed annual CPD hours requirement. Instead, it requires members to engage in a structured CPD plan that demonstrates continued competence and professional development. Supervision remains a mandatory component of UKCP membership.
UKCP CPD at a glance
What happens in a UKCP CPD audit?
UKCP member organisations may carry out their own CPD audits or reviews in addition to UKCP's overarching requirements. Maintaining a thorough, well-documented CPD and supervision record at all times means you can respond quickly and confidently to any review — from UKCP itself or your member organisation.

Verified supervision — the HourlyCPD difference
Supervision is a non-negotiable requirement for UKCP membership. Your supervisor must be a suitably qualified psychotherapist or psychotherapy supervisor. HourlyCPD's supervision log tracks each session, your supervisor's credentials, and the type of supervision (individual or group). On Pro+, you can send your supervisor a secure link to verify sessions electronically — creating a robust, independently confirmed supervision record.
- Send your supervisor a secure magic link by email
- They confirm the session and add notes — no account needed
- Verified sessions are marked in your audit export (Pro+)
- Per-membership — track supervisors for each body separately

UKCP CPD — frequently asked questions
Does UKCP require a specific number of CPD hours?
UKCP does not set a fixed annual hours requirement. The emphasis is on a structured, thoughtful CPD plan that demonstrates how your ongoing learning maintains and develops your competence as a psychotherapist. You should be able to articulate the purpose of each activity and how it has contributed to your practice.
Is supervision counted as CPD for UKCP?
Supervision is treated as a distinct professional requirement for UKCP members, separate from — but complementary to — CPD. Both must be documented. HourlyCPD lets you log both in the same account, with supervision tracked in its dedicated module and CPD activities in the activity log.
What is a UKCP CPD plan?
A CPD plan is a forward-looking document that identifies your development needs, sets out the activities you plan to undertake to address them, and links your learning to your ongoing competence as a psychotherapist. HourlyCPD's flexible activity logging supports this reflective approach, letting you record goals alongside completed activities.
Can I use HourlyCPD if I hold both UKCP and BACP membership?
Yes — this is a common combination. HourlyCPD lets you add both memberships and log CPD activities against one or both simultaneously. Each membership tracks its own requirements independently.
