PACFA is dedicated to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the area of professional therapeutic practice. We are determined to support a wide range of therapeutic approaches and practices, reflecting the richness of perspectives within the profession.  
PACFA’s membership is inclusive and we welcome members from various therapeutic backgrounds, spanning empirical, determinist, humanist, post-modern, existential and transpersonal philosophies.
Our commitment to diversity means recognising the value of all psychotherapies and counselling modalities, including psychologists focused on cognitive behavioural therapy, psychiatrists integrating pharmacological treatments with psychodynamic methods, somatic psychotherapists and counsellors who incorporate holistic, transpersonal or Indigenous knowledge in their practice, and practitioners with lived experience.  
PACFA believes that therapeutic approaches, when applied thoughtfully and ethically, can be beneficial to the right individual in the right context. To this end, all PACFA registrants and members are expected to adhere to PACFA’s registration standards, prioritising ethics, safety and client autonomy.  
Within the PACFA community, no one approach is excluded nor favoured over another. PACFA strives to be a place of belonging for all, underpinned by a shared commitment to professional excellence and ethical practice. Through this, we aim to acknowledge, celebrate and support the diversity within the profession, ensuring that PACFA remains a vibrant, inclusive community dedicated to the wellbeing of all whom it serves.

Please note: At PACFA, we are committed to upholding our values of inclusivity and respect for diversity in all aspects of our work. We recognise that some of the language and concepts used in this training may be considered pathologising, inaccurate, or oppressive by people and communities with lived experience in the topics discussed. To ensure that we create a safe and inclusive learning environment, we encourage participants to engage with lived experience sources and to consider different perspectives. This helps us to respect marginalised people and communities as the best authorities to consult about their own experiences. We are dedicated to fostering a culture of learning that is mindful of diverse perspectives.
