Psychological Therapies Consultation Response
Added 2nd May 2007

Skills for Health have recently carried out a scoping exercise to examine the functions carried out by psychotherapists and counsellors across the UK with a view to developing National Occupational Standards for Psychological Therapies. These standards can be used for a variety of purposes, one of which may be to inform later discussion about the threshold standards that could be used for the regulation of all those involved in delivering psychological therapy. Any such moves towards regulation will be the subject of further, separate consultation by the Health Department.   It is not clear at this stage how these standards will fit with the NOS for counselling which have been in the process of revision for some time. CPCAB took part in this consultation and responded to many of the concerns that it raised.
