独家：专业机构呼吁立法监管，以增强公众信心并保护公众免受虐待，这份被誉为“里程碑”的报告称，部长们应为咨询师和心理治疗师引入立法监管，以保护公众免受虐待。

Exclusive: Professional bodies call for regulation to boost confidence and protect public from abuse in ‘landmark’ report Ministers should introduce statutory regulation for counsellors and psychotherapists to protect the public from abuse, according to a report that has been hailed as a “watershed moment” for the profession.

该报告的联合主席安德里亚·萨特克利夫说，咨询和心理治疗存在法定监管的“充分理由”。摄影：琳达·奈林德/《卫报》Andrea Sutcliffe, a co-chair of the report, said ‘a compelling case’ existed for statutory regulation of counselling and psychotherapy. Photograph: Linda Nylind/The Guardian

与大多数其他医疗角色（包括医生、助产士和整脊师）不同，“心理治疗师”和“咨询师”在英国既不是受保护的头衔，也不是受立法监管的职业。

Unlike most other healthcare roles, including doctors, midwives and osteopaths, “psychotherapist” and “counsellor” are not protected titles nor statutorily regulated professions in the UK.
