I know psychotherapy is largely unregulated in Canada, and the term "psychotherapist" is unprotected, but that's changing.
But my question is can anyone enter training to be a psychotherapist regardless of their professional background?
I know there are five professions who's professional bodies independently regulate the practice of psychotherapy for their practitioners in Canada and those are Nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.
But can someone from outside of those fields with a background in let's say marketing, train to be a psychotherapist?
