About CBPis
The International Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapies Society is a non political professional society, registered in İskele under the TRNC Associations Law in 2019.
Our belief
We believe in simple ideas, strong relationships, and lasting impact.
CBPis exists so that people who seek psychological help in North Cyprus can find practitioners who are well trained, work ethically and keep learning. We do this by setting clear membership titles, supporting training, encouraging research and working with public institutions.
The Society does not pursue any political purpose and does not engage in political activities.
