What APHICE (Asociación de Psicoterapia Humanista Integrativa y Counselling de España) Edit does

APHICE (Asociación de Psicoterapia Humanista Integrativa y Counselling de España) is a Spanish non-profit professional association founded on June 23, 2002, and headquartered in Madrid. It serves licensed psychotherapists and counsellors who practice from the integrative humanistic approach, providing them with institutional recognition, professional accreditation, continuing education, supervision access, malpractice and legal support, and visibility through an official online directory of accredited therapists. The association is a member of FEAP (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Psicoterapeutas) and, through FEAP, the European Association of Psychotherapy (EAP), and is also associated with the International Association for Counselling (IAC), giving members a pathway to the European Certificate of Psychotherapy and broader international recognition.

The association's core technology is a website-based platform comprising a searchable therapist directory (filterable by province, modality, and work type), an online membership application and verification workflow, a content management system for professional articles and resources, and supporting social media presence. Its product portfolio includes the therapist directory, professional accreditation services, paid member-led webinars, annual supervision scholarships of 100 euros each for 10 members, the Premio Carlo Moiso member-recognition award, formation accreditation for member-led training, and the Terapia Solidaria program offering free therapeutic care to people without resources.

APHICE generates revenue primarily through annual membership dues, with fees proportional to the time remaining in the annual period; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is a hybrid sales-led and community-led motion: prospective members apply online, undergo credential verification, and join to access directory listings, accreditation pathways, training, and peer community. As of the latest data, the directory lists 48 therapists across 16 Spanish provinces and international locations including Mexico City, Bucharest, Caracas, and the United Kingdom, and the organization operates with approximately 6 employees under a board led by President Alicia Gadea.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• FEAP (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Psicoterapeutas): Spanish national federation of psychotherapy associations and APHICE's direct umbrella organization. Operates as the aggregating body for modality-specific associations like APHICE and competes for influence over the accreditation agenda in Spain.
• EAP (European Association of Psychotherapy): European-level umbrella organization for psychotherapy associations. APHICE accesses the European Certificate of Psychotherapy through FEAP's integration with EAP, making it the closest supra-national peer operating in the same accreditation space.
• Consejo General de la Psicología de España (COP): Official national regulator of psychology practice in Spain. A broader incumbent that defines who can legally practice psychotherapy in Spain and sets adjacent credentialing standards that APHICE members must also meet.

Direct peers

• Sociedad Española de Psicoterapia Constructivista (SEPC): A modality-specific Spanish psychotherapy association, also a FEAP member. Direct peer competing for the same pool of Spanish psychotherapists by offering accreditation within the constructivist modality rather than integrative humanistic.
• Asociación Española de Psicoterapia Psicoanalítica (AEPP): Spanish psychoanalytic psychotherapy association, also affiliated with FEAP. Direct peer operating in the same modality-specific association model that targets accredited psychotherapists in Spain.
• BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy): The UK's leading professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. Operates a comparable membership-accreditation-directory model and serves as a benchmark for European counsellor professionalization.
• IAC (International Association for Counselling): International body for the counselling profession with which APHICE is associated. Directly comparable as an accreditation/recognition body for counsellors and a potential partner (or competitor) for cross-border counsellor certification.

Regional players

• Sociedad Española de Psicoterapias (SEPsi): Spanish psychotherapy society operating in an adjacent modality-association space. Relevant comparitor for Spanish psychotherapy association governance and member-service models.
• EFPP (European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy): European umbrella for psychoanalytic psychotherapy associations, structurally analogous to FEAP. Relevant peer for benchmarking European accreditation pathways and federation-level operating models.

Others

• Instituto Galene de Psicoterapia: Madrid-based postgraduate training institution that supplies APHICE's member pipeline. Not a competitor but a closely-linked ecosystem participant — the primary supplier of new APHICE candidates.
