The IAC Europe regional branch is making significant progress toward its official establishment in early 2025. Key associations and working groups have been meeting regularly, collaborating to achieve this important goal. The governance document, the result of a full year of dedicated work, is being finalized and will soon set the stage for formal recognition, marking a major milestone in the group’s journey. IAC Europe is led by regional representative Suzanne Mohnani, a counselor, counseling supervisor, educator, and Malta Adlerian Psychology Association treasurer.

The IAC Europe Standards Working Group has made excellent progress, and the work of the Advocacy Group has been instrumental in its initiatives. Recently, the group showcased its efforts at the Naples conference, marking another important step in the mission to establish IAC Europe. IAC Europe’s goal is to strengthen professional unity and foster a shared identity within the counselling profession. The collective impact of a unified profession is far greater than the sum of its individual parts. IAC Europe extends an invitation to associations and countries not currently participating to join them. For further details or to express your interest, please contact the IAC Europe Committee at iaceuropecommittee@gmail.com.

IAC's regional structure, which provides inclusivity and representation at a regional level, comprises IAC Africa, IAC Asia-Pacific, IAC-Carribean, IAC Europe, IAC Latin America, IAC Middle East and Central Asia, IAC North America, and IAC-Oceania. The purpose of the IAC Regional Branches is to advocacate for the legal recognition of counselling, set region-wide counselling standards, support national counselling associations, and to support region-specific education, research and practice programmes.
