OLT4c have several options. We are fully online, delivering training in online counselling and supervision including diploma level to therapists PLUS we offer bespoke training courses to skilled helpers, helpline advisors and support staff assisting them to use their skills and work therapeutically and safely remotely.
Enrolling now for our in-depth qualifications beginning in September and October 2021.
Membership Fees
From June 1st 2021, ACTO is introducing a small increase in its membership fees to keep pace with inflation. They are as follows:
Level 1 Member from £38.75 to £40
Level 2 Professional Member (including directory) from £56.75 to £60
Level 3 Senior Professional Member from £56.75 to £60
Associate from £30 to £35
Student from £19 to £20
Supervisors Directory from £12 to £15
We have been listening to you and we would like to give the members more input. Over the next two months the website will be completely overhauled by a professional designer. We want to do this well, so we are forming a small website working group. It will be headed up by me, the webmaster. It will include a few of your directors but we would also like to include some members.
Tasks would include:
Go through the current web content and select what stays and what goes
Help to think of a menu structure to make it easier to find your way around the website
Help setting the parameters for the new improved directories
Help thinking about images and new content for the website
Help thinking of what benefits we can add for members
If that appeals to you (It will involve several meetings with the working group and will take some hours of your time) and you want to help make the ACTO website better please email me at webmaster@acto-org.uk as soon as possible.
As always, we welcome as “ACTO Professional Members”, therapists who have completed tutor-led, assessed ‘Certificate” courses (Level 2).
We now also welcome as ACTO Members therapists who have done (unassisted) Level 1 CPD courses around online therapy.
ACTO also wants to encourage advanced training – so we have created ‘Senior Professional Membership’.
So – three levels of Membership – and three levels of ACTO Online Training Provider courses to match them.

How to apply
