ConclusionsFurther research is required to refine currently existing measures and develop new measures for key NICE ‐recommended models of therapy.Practitioner points Assessment and improvement of therapist competence is key to provision of high ‐quality psychotherapeutic interventions. This review shows there are few measures of competence in relational therapy models and several NICE‐recommended models do not have corresponding competence measures. Measures that do exist are mixed in terms of their validity and reliability and shoul d therefore be used with caution.
