The health super-regulator has admitted it badly treated a Christian therapist group that helps people with unwanted same-sex attraction.

In June 2024, the International Foundation for Therapeutic and Counselling Choice (IFTCC) applied for accreditation to the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA). The IFTCC says it supports providers who ‘help those experiencing unwanted relational and sexual behaviours, attractions and patterns, or are confused with their gender or wish to de-transition’.

The PSA rejected its application saying the organisation failed the public interest test set out in its standards. It has now admitted it took an ‘unfair and wrong’ approach and had not accounted for evidence submitted. The application will be reconsidered.
