While every funding scheme will have its own set of specific criteria, we assess all applications broadly in terms of:听

  • research excellence
  • relevance to counselling and psychotherapy practice
  • skills and abilities of the applicant and team
  • cost justification
  • outcomes and impact听

Grants Peer Review Panel (for all funding decisions from 2023 onwards)

Our Grants Peer Review Panel, established in 2023, is made up of people with lived experience of using, or caring for someone who has used, counselling, psychotherapy or coaching services.
