While the current system allows untrained individuals to offer therapy, it creates a situation where people can be harmed by those who lack proper qualifications.
Labour MP Chris Webb emphasized that appropriate regulation is increasingly important as mental health support demand rises, pointing to his personal and professional experiences.
Webb shared how informal referrals to charities led patients to inadequate support, as many assumed they were receiving NHS-level care when they were not.
He expressed that while some unregulated practitioners may have good intentions, their lack of training can exacerbate clients' mental health issues.
