That's terrible, Myrto.
The situation is similar in the UK in that legally anyone is able to call themselves a psychotherapist. The general attitude in the profession is massively against people without proper training doing so, though, and the vast majority of therapists have qualifications which are recognised by the BACP (the main national regulating body) and are members of that organisation.
It's still not ideal. I very much believe it should be governed by law.
