About Us

As a relatively new field experiencing rapid growth, coaching comes with unique challenges. The ICF is the world's largest non-profit coaching association with over 50,000 members across 166 countries and territories. We are the organisation people turn to for professional development, excellence in standards and depth of understanding of the coaching profession. 

The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.

ICF Chapters are local communities of ICF Members. The UK Chapter brings our global organisation to life at a national and local level. We build, support and preserve the integrity and standards of the coaching profession in the UK. We were the first ICF Chapter to be established out of North America and since founding in 2000, we have grown to be one of the largest, most active Chapters, with over 3,000 members.

Membership

Our members are coaches who follow professional standards set by the ICF and adhere to its code of ethics, with a focus on continued learning and improvement. 

UK ICF Chapter members can login to keep informed around UK events. Refer clients to your UK profile; keep track of your development; chat with the community and register for events and, benefit from additional discounts and opportunities. 

ICF members can access UK event details, information on credentialing and make the most of quick links to key resources on the Global ICF website.

If you’re interested in how we can support your professional development, and in potentially becoming a member, check out our events and credentialing information. We encourage non members to engage with our active local groups to meet other coaches and find out more about the ICF. 

If you’re looking for a coach, please use our Find a Coach service.

Testimonials

I joined the ICF to become connected with the large community of professional coaches and leading experts in the profession. It’s taken my CPD to the next level as I’m now leading one of the local groups, London Business Development Group, which is a special interest group for coaches who want help with getting more clients and marketing their practice.

Lisa Farr, UK ICF Local Group

Testimonials

Membership of the UK ICF has been and still is an important part of my coaching journey. Initially, membership was a goal for professional credibility; now it is more of a partnership of learning and sharing as I develop my coaching practice and lead the Salisbury Coaching Circle.

Ross Nichols, UK ICF Local Group
