Counsellors More Credible Than Psychologists?

In this episode

Counsellors, are you aware that you are well-placed to connect with clients in a way that Psychologists no longer can when it comes to discussing COVID-19 issues? Did you know that Psychologists are mandated to ONLY promote a COVID vaccination and that if they do otherwise, they may be investigated, lose their registration to practice and or be prosecuted? 

So what do the restrictions placed on Psychologists in Australia, mean for you as a Counsellor? What now becomes available to the counselling profession, that perhaps wasn't before? 

 

The views presented in this episode, as with every episode, are my views only and are my own opinion.
