In Austria it is simply impossible to practice as a Counsellor without the necessary permissions from the government. To be acknowledged as a counsellor you need a minimum of:
- 400 units of theoretical education
- 750 units of supervised praxis
- 30 units of psychological self-experience
Due to my experience in the field and my education on the University of Psychiatry in Graz, I was happy to open my own praxis in 2008 with:
- 1488 units of theoretical education
- 4.500 units of supervised praxis
- 30+ units of psychological self-experience
