Regulation of therapists.

Stuart333

I read this article yesterday.

https://news.sky.com/story/blurred-lines-and-no-rules-the-dark-side-of-therapy-13481757

Anyone can call themselves a therapist. Few check their credentials, which can lead to problems when people are in a troubled state.

There are calls to tighten things up.

I was aware of this and was careful, but it seems few know.

  • It's shocking. I'm not in UK, but here I also saw such app. I have a therapy with a "pain management and psychotherapy" paid by my insurance and this doctor is clear. My experience with him is also positive and he has strict boundaries,  I don't know anything personal about him, he does not touch me in any way and we don't get disturbed by any phone calls etc. I can say I'm lucky that I landed in his office, he practises anesthesia and psychotherapy.
