Accreditation
EAAP’s scope of accreditation is the accreditation and preaccreditation of practices providing services/products based on different aspects of applied psychology in Europe and/or internationally. Example of that can be HR, Coaching, Psychotherapy, Behavioral marketing, Behavioral economics, Pedagogy, Adult learning, Social care and other services and practices.
What are the benefits of accreditation?
Simply put, accreditation is quality assurance through external peer review. When an institution, specialized program/service, or single practitioner is accredited, it has demonstrated that it meets standards set by EAAP and our large list of accreditors, specialized in the different fields of applied psychology. Every accreditation is issued for the period of 3 years. After that period the recipient must undergo a similar review to mentain accreditation.
There are three types of accreditation:
- Institutional Accreditation. Accreditors review commercial and non-commercial organizations, institutes, consulting agencies, training and development centers, etc. The accreditation comprises all activities performed by the organization.
- Programatic Accreditation of specific service or product. The object of accreditors review is specific service or product.
- Professional Accreditation. Accreditors review the educational status, professional experience, specific certifications, supervision, code of conduct and ethics of the applicant. This type of accreditation is issued for one person only (name of the applicant and type of practice) and is suitable for Psychotherapists, Coaches, Consultants, HR & recruitment specialists, Soft skill trainers, etc.

News
We begin the new year 2026 with an important announcement: East Bridge University (EBU) has officially been accepted as a Partnering Member of the European Association of Applied Psychology (EAAP).
This partnership marks the beginning of a developing collaboration between two institutions committed to advancing academic quality, professional standards, and cooperation in the field of applied psychology. EAAP is dedicated to supporting educational institutions such as EBU that stand for a scientific, evidence-based, and contemporary approach to teaching psychology to students in Europe and abroad. Through this collaboration, both institutions aim to promote knowledge exchange, academic cooperation, and a deeper understanding of human behavior.
The European Association for Applied Psychology (EAAP) is pleased to announce that Soul BG has been granted institutional accreditation in the field of Psycho-Biology.
Psycho-Biology represents a progressive and innovative approach within psychology, psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy. Historically, this method is associated with the conceptual framework of the "Five Biological Laws” formulated by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, further developed by Dr. Claude Sabbah and his "Biologie Totale" as well as by other researchers.
The Psycho-Biological perspective explores the interaction between psychological processes, emotional responses and the biological laws derived from the embryonic development of organisms. This interaction consistently leads to a specific biological response, evolutionarily embedded in biological systems with the primary function of supporting the survival of the species.

This recognition underscores the institution’s commitment to a structured methodology, contemporary application and high professional standards.

EAAP addresses the rising concerns about the legitimacy of life coaching and all other coaching approaches that are not based on the stable foundations of modern psychology.
Today, We wanted to shed some light on a growing trend that has caught my attention: life coaching as a counseling approach. While the idea of seeking guidance and support for personal growth is commendable, there are a few critical aspects we need to consider before putting all our trust in just anyone who labels themselves as a life coach. Here's why: 
- Lack of In-depth psychological knowledge: Life coaching, as a field, often lacks the comprehensive understanding of human psychology that is essential for addressing deep-seated issues. While some life coaches may possess valuable insights, many have limited training in psychology compared to licensed counselors or therapists. This knowledge gap can hinder their ability to provide appropriate guidance for complex emotional challenges.
- Accessibility without sufficient qualifications: One of the concerning aspects of life coaching is that almost anyone can become a life coach after completing a few short courses or workshops. Unlike counselors or therapists who require extensive education, training, and supervised clinical experience, life coaching lacks standardized regulations. This means that individuals without a solid foundation in psychology can market themselves as experts, potentially putting your mental well-being at risk.
- Individual experiences ≠ expertise: While life coaches often share their personal experiences to inspire and motivate, it's crucial to remember that personal experiences alone do not make someone a qualified counselor. True expertise in psychology requires a deep understanding of theoretical frameworks, research, and evidence-based practices. Relying solely on personal anecdotes may overlook the complexities and unique circumstances of each individual.
For a more reliable option, consider professionals with psychology degrees or substantial knowledge in human relations. Look for accredited counselors, therapists, or psychologists who are recognized by organizations like the EAAP (European Association for Applied Psychology) EFPA (European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations) EAP (European Association of Psychotherapy) etc.

He is the Director of the Helsinki Psychodrama Institute and a leadership Coach at Muutosvalmennus Reijo Kauppila Oy (https://www.muutosvalmennus.fi/). He is also the Chairman of the Federation of European Psychodrama Training Organisations (FEPTO) and one of Finland's most prominent "adult learning" experts.
Reijo Kauppila has extensive experience in interactive training, consulting, and coaching. He organizes a number of seminars on psychodrama usage in organizations, as well as coaching and organizational consulting seminars in Europe.

Ethics & professional standards
The principles of EAAP are related to the common moral framework that guides and inspires psychologists and other professionals worldwide toward the highest ethical ideals in their professional and scientific work.
We recognize that we should carry out our activities within a larger social context. We recognize that the lives and identities of human beings both individually and collectively are connected across generations, and that there is a reciprocal relationship between human beings and their social environments. That’s why EAAP as organization is committed to placing the wellfare of society and its members above the self-interest of the discipline and its members.
