A registered psychological counsellor is still a relatively new category which the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) has introduced in an attempt to make mental health services more widely available to the public especially to those, who for economic reasons, often could not afford to make use of professional services in the past.
A psychological counsellor focuses on short term counselling and in cases where it is deemed necessary a referral will be made to a psychologist or to a psychiatrist. Registered counsellors are not lay counsellors and have studued an average of 5 years towards their honours qualification in Psychology. All registered counsellors are also required to complete a year's internship in gaining practical experience.
After completing a board's exam we are then awarded a practise number and are then eligible to claim from medical aids.
