  • Complaints Procedure: Our members have a detailed set of guidelines about how to deal with complaints and problems.
  • Constant Improvement: As evidenced by the current work in developing a course leading to a European Certificate in Psychotherapy, members benefit from WGII’s dedication to a constant improvement of our effectiveness in helping others through Choice Theory.
  • Branch Support: Any members who form a branch in their locality will have support from WGII.  This includes a portion of the membership fee being made available to the branch.
