There are approx. 44000 members in the BPS, only about 12000 members are actually chartered psychologists so they are going to have to get a move on in training more therapists.

But still it is better than bunging everyone on meds with no therapy at all. I read somewhere that only 2 - 4% of people with depression get talking therapy which is truly awful. Thank goodness they are doing something about it.
