Did you know in the UK, the titles "counsellor" and "psychotherapist" are not legally protected? This means anyone can practice as a counsellor or psychotherapist without the necessity of formal qualifications.

When selecting a therapist, it's essential to verify their credentials. Always ensure they are qualified (minimum level 4), carry professional insurance, and are registered with a reputable ethical body, such as the NCPS or BACP.
