Row between psychotherapy sector and regulator Coru escalates as IACP warns that new standards could put patients at risk

03/10/2025

Please have a read of this article , share and contact Coru and Local representatives with concerns. Coru are proposing to drastically reduce training standards , and drop the requirement for trainee therapists do their own personal therapy and well as the requirement for supervision. This is complete negligence and puts clients who are already vulnerable at a huge risk.
Currently , Ireland and European standards ensure that therapists got through rigorous training and personal development in order to be able to work with trauma , su***de Ana serious mental health issues . These proposed changes are well below European standards and are unacceptable, disrespectful to the profession and dangerous . Please make noise.

We need to make noise about this. Coru is proposing to dramatically lower the standard and level of qualification and training that therapist currently uphold in Ireland and Europe. Doing so means therapists will not longer be obliged to partake in their own therapy or have continuous supervision for their case loads. This is unethical and dangerous. We have a duty of care to our clients and need to ensure night standards are upheld , to include minimum hours of personal therapy and experimental group learning, supervision hours through training and practice , and minimum training course periods .
