Organisation

/by

Family Therapy Association of Ireland (FTAI) is the professional body that accredits and monitors family and couple therapists in Ireland. It accredits Therapists at registered and supervisor level and has a section for student and associate members.

FTAI is a full member of the Irish Council for Psychotherapy and also of the European Family Therapy Association. Many of the registered Family Therapists hold European accreditation and are thus qualified to work in European counties.

FTAI is a voluntary body. The association provides a code of ethics and a complaints procedure that all registered therapists sign up to and these are available for perusal on this website.

FTAI hosts an AGM once a year and offers many workshops for its members. It produces a journal ‘Feedback‘ a number of times a year and continues to be at the cutting edge of therapeutic issues both in Ireland and abroad.

About Us

/by

The Family Therapy Association of Ireland FTAI is the professional organisation which represents family therapy and therapists in Ireland.

The FTAI is a registering body, with a code of ethics that sets professional standards in order to encourage and maintain best practice among therapists and provide clients and patients with the confidence and reassurance that their therapist is well-trained and experienced.

Rather than being a clinical organisation offering a therapy service ourselves, we act as a connection between those who seek the professional services of a family therapist and our membership of qualified, experienced, practicing therapists.
