Important Note: While the general title "Psychotherapist" is not legally protected in the UK, professional practice demands advanced postgraduate training (typically Master's level) and registration/accreditation with a recognised professional body (such as UKCP or BACP) on a PSA-accredited register. Meeting these high standards is mandatory for eligibility on the Mentalzon platform. This role operates on a self-employed basis, requiring practitioners to manage all aspects of their legal, ethical, insurance, and professional obligations for independent practice in the UK.
