Counselor / Counsellor - NOT a regulated profession

Regulator: None (title not protected; profession not regulated in Denmark)

CPDCounseling/'rådgivning' and psychotherapy titles ('psykoterapeut') are NOT statutorily regulated or protected in Denmark. Anyone may practise as a counselor or (non-psychologist) psychotherapist; there is no state authorisation, no protected title, and consequently no legally mandated CPD hours or renewal cycle. Some private-sector standards exist via voluntary membership bodies (e.g. Dansk Psykoterapeutforening), but these are association-driven, not statutory.

No specific live / interactive hour requirement

Home study: N/A - profession not regulated; no statutory CPD requirement

Board notes: No government regulator, register, or protected title for generic counselors/psychotherapists. Any CPD requirement would come only from a voluntary membership association, not from law.
