Registered Counsellors and Psychotherapists are trained professionals working in a variety of settings, from early intervention services, through to moderate and high needs in primary, secondary and tertiary care. The Registered Counsellor or Psychotherapist supports individuals with behavioural change through psychological interventions.
Registered Counsellors and Psychotherapists currently work with other allied health professions to deliver psychological interventions in clinical settings, and within broader service stepped care environments, to provide individuals with a choice of high-quality, evidence-based person-centred psychological interventions that are responsive to the needs of the individual and the broader health system.
Like other allied health professionals, registered counsellors are required to maintain their registration obligations and further develop their practice by participating in clinical/professional supervision and professional development.
