Mga Patakaran at Eksepsyon
Sa UK, ang counselling ay gumagana under dual system. Karamihan ng counsellors ay nag-register sa BACP (voluntary), na hindi nag-mandate ng specific IELTS score. Pero ang counselling psychologists ay regulated ng HCPC, na nangangailangan ng Band 7.0 overall with no element below 6.5.
Para sa employment, ang NHS trusts at private practices ay karaniwang nangangailangan ng Band 6.5-7.0 overall. UK Skilled Worker visa sponsors ay nagse-set ng sariling English requirements, usually aligned sa IELTS 6.5+ o B2 CEFR.
BACP accreditation ay nagsasangkot ng pagpapakita ng competence through supervised practice hours (450+), qualifying course, at ongoing professional development — ang English proficiency ay assessed holistically during training.
