REGULATING PSYCHOLOGISTS IN NOVA SCOTIA SINCE 1980
A

We had some preliminary discussions a while back about reinstating my license and I’ve decided I want to do that. I think I would like to reinstate it for November 15 2018. The reason for that is I want to apply for some overseas work and the requirement is to be fully licensed. As I plan to apply before the end of this year, I think it would be important for me to say that I am fully licensed with NSBEP. As you might wonder why I wouldn’t wait till January 2019?Can you please direct me as to what steps I need to follow to reinstate a full license, also in the past months i.e. since January 2018 I have been doing volunteer counseling (not using psychologist name of course) which involves two hours of supervision per month, I’ve taken a one day workshop on brief therapies & and have just registered for an online course In Refugee mental health put on by the Center for addictions and mental health (CAMH). The course is pretty intensive. And if one completes all the modules it would take about 20 to 25 hours. Finally, I just delivered a workshop to a group of women coming out of abusive relationships. How can I count these things (or can I count them towards next years continuing Ed) credit requirements?If etter to speak on the phone my number remains the same though I should give you my new address. Do I sign on as an out of town registrant-if I do does that mean that I still hold a valid license in Nova Scotia or not?I understand I will need to take out liability insurance again.

Can you please send me the link which I would need to use to reinstate my license and completely associated paperwork?Realize this is a lot of questions.

You can login online and select the option for full registration when you pay. The NSRP must approve the change in status from Retired to Full Registration; however, in the circumstances NSRP staff can do so and the information contained in your email is sufficient for the request. Here is a link to the process and detailed instructions:

https://www.ns-rp.ca/information-for-registrants/for-all-registrants/information-for-registrants/#Online_RenewalnThank you for outlining various CC activities you have been engaged in. Under NSRP Policy, activities completed in 2018 would not apply in 2019. However, you will not be audited for the 2018 year even if you restart your full registration in November. Your name would become part of the pool of potential auditees for 2019 activities.

I think you would be able to pay the fee for 2019 at this time. You could indicate that your full license will be effective January 1, 2019. However, if you really do wish to start full registration effective November 15th, there is an additional fee of $134.16. After renewing your registration, you could login back to the website and pay this additional amount as a miscellaneous fee to NSRP. There is a dropdown menu to do so.

I have copied Lee, NSRP Administration Assistant on this email and she will ensure that you are able to complete all steps. Lee will ensure your address is updated as well.
