If they were to grant the proposal, it would be "unjustly" (in a court of law) undermining the therapist and it opens the licensing body up to litigation because therapist do have rights with complaints and there is a set formal process that needs to be followed when a complaint or report is made or is being made. So, I would bargain that a formal complaint needs to be submitted anyway because the board will not have the ability to force a therapist's hands without a fair hearing where both parties (you and your T) are present.
I know that you mentioned his professional body is the HCPC and they have a list of standards in regard to the information needed before they start the complaint process. I'm just not sure if they would be willing to respond to an informal proposal because of the legal implications.

I believe the proposal that OP is talking about was sent to the ex-T and his practice. She is waiting to see if ex-T responds to the proposal before filing an official complaint.
If I have this wrong, MariaLucy, please correct me.
