We would like to inform ourselves further about your directory for candidates in the process of getting their license.
According to the directory page on your website, these registrants are identified as “candidate register”. Our questions are:Must all of those undergoing supervision to complete the requirements be listed in your directory. (are those who cannot be found in your directory allowed to practice psychology under supervision?)
Not necessarily. Even though an individual states that they are working under supervision does not mean they are on the NSRP Candidate Register. If the individual is not using the title of Psychologist (Candidate Register) they are probably not on the Register. If one is on the Candidate Register, then the title used should be Psychologist (Candidate Register). If an individual is listed in the NSRP Directory as a Candidate Register then, yes, they must be “… undergoing supervision until completing the required period of supervised work experience and examinations”nWould an independent practitioner (as a counsellor, therapist, psychotherapist, etc.) appear as a candidate register? (presuming that since, in the case I’m currently looking at, they are practicing under the supervision of a psychologist, they must have applied?)
No. Titles such as “counsellor,” therapist” and “psychotherapist” are not regulated titles in Nova Scotia.
