How are Counselling Psychologists regulated?

The title: ‘Counselling Psychologist’ is protected under law (while anyone can call themselves a Counsellor). Counselling Psychologists are registered with the British Psychological Society and with the Health and Care Professions Council. Both these organisations provide guidance and ethical codes which Counselling Psychologists are required to follow. In this way you are protected by these organisations and you can make a complaint to them about a registered professional if you feel that you have not been treated appropriately.
