I have no problem with people doing what the find helpful, whether it be the services she offers or something different. What object to is the dishonesty inherent in labelling what she does talking therapy. I had to get deep into the small print to discover she's not qualified in any way.

Whatever you think of therapy, and I agree it's as made up as the next thing, there are definite expectations about what it is and isn't, in the minds of the consumers, and in the definitions provided by the APA. One such expectation is that there is somebody to complain to should harm occur, another is that the therapist will have a certain standard of training.

Whatever you think of therapy, therapy this ain't. And in my view to present it as such is misleading, dishonest and potentially harmful.
