ACTO needs you!

Get Involved!

ACTO is growing and we would like your involvement to help our aim in promoting all that is best in online therapy.

The relationship with our members is two way and we are keen to facilitate member engagement knowing that we have to be responsive as an organisation to your feedback, but also knowing that ACTO has a great resource in its 500+ membership.

There are so many opportunities to get involved, so whatever your interest might be, we will welcome you or your suggestions.

ACTO is a not-for-profit organisation, and all Board Members are volunteers who donate time and skills to work towards ACTO’s aims, to maintain standards and provide a hub for therapists and information for the public.

The Board want to attract new applications from members who have experience or skills to offer. You may want to bring your experience in the therapy world, or feel you have specific skills/experience to bring for example in education, training, management, finance, committee work, and so on. The Board meet monthly for two hours and there is likely to be a further time commitment required if you have a specific role, or even ‘without portfolio’ board members often contribute to workstreams depending on what projects are underway. Recently a lot of work was done behind the scenes getting the first ACTO Conference off the ground, and development of the website has also needed ‘hands on’.

If you are interest to find out more, please email office@acto-org.uk for an initial conversation and information.
