What is actually required to practice as a psychotherapist in Romania?
In Romania the training can be used to register with CPR “to practice psychotherapy under supervision” and after qualification as a CTA to become an autonomous practitioner.
There is often much confusion and miss-information regarding the requirements and process for applying for certification to practice under supervision in Romania - therefore YTCi has created this pdf description of all the requirements along with a description of the relationship between the various professional bodies and a description of the process of application - along with the relevant links to follow. YTCi uses the information received from ARAT regarding requirements for recognition in Romania: Trainees are responsible for ensuring that they fulfil the current requirements by both ARAT and other professional bodies within Romania. It is also important to note that the requirements continue to be developed and so check with the Professional Practice Committee in ARAT for the latest details.
