In this interview (which you can watch on YouTube), I interview Philip Armstrong, the CEO of the Vocational Mental Health Professionals Association of Australia about the draft National Standards.
We talk about:
- The origin of the National Standards for Counsellors and Psychotherapists
- Implications for Counsellors with a vocational qualification, such as a Diploma or Advanced Diploma
- Removal of ability to run a private practice
- Removal of recognition as a qualified practitioner
- Removal of ability to supervise
- Contact or practice hours mentioned in the Standards
- Licensing requirements and pathways for Counsellors
- What happens to existing clients of Counsellors in private practice with a Diploma
And more
It's all here for you in today's edition of the Private Practice Podcast with Dr Brooklyn Storme PhD
