No difference between counselling and psychotherapy, says IACP

In its latest position paper supporting statutory regulation of the profession, the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy asserts that no difference can be found between counselling and psychotherapy. An honours degree should be the minimum academic requirement for entry to counselling/psychotherapy it recommends.

The position paper can be found here:
