About the strategy development process

In April 2023, following the appointment of Jon Levett as CEO, UKCP’s Board of Trustees tasked him with leading the development of a new three-year strategy. Engaging members in the strategy development process was important, and a six month period at the beginning of 2024 was set aside to carry this out. 

Listening to our members 

Between January and July 2024, members were asked to engage with the strategy development through webinars, think piece articles and direct feedback. 

Members were invited to share their perspectives on how UKCP can grow and respond to the evolving needs of psychotherapy. All the feedback received was reviewed and while it was impossible to incorporate all the ideas received the most common and impactful helped to create a foundation for our final strategy.  

We are grateful for the insightful contributions made by members. 

Engagement feedback report: what we heard 

We are pleased to share the strategy engagement feedback report, which provides an overview of the invaluable insights we received from members. This report reflects what we heard, summarising the themes, priorities and ideas that emerged during the consultation period. 

Governance oversight and collaboration 

The strategy working group - comprising staff and members - provided governance oversight throughout the development. This group played an essential role in developing the organisational vision and values and shaping strategic priorities based on member insights. 

Our strategy delivery group, made up of UKCP staff, was responsible for facilitating member engagement, producing think piece articless and organising webinars.
