Hi, I'm a counselling student in the UK interested in moving to Saudi.

Can anyone tell me what requirements I must meet/qualifications or licensing I must need to practice counselling therapy in Saudi?

Can anyone explain the nature of the field/job market for psychotherapists if much different to in other countries?

I struggle to find this information when searching on the web.

Thanks

Theres a Sauddi license you can get to become i thinks its like a psychologist. They use the american type system here, so counselling in american terms is like a glorified Mentor. A counsellor or psychotherapists appears to be amalagamated with psychologists. I dunno. Still trying to figure this out. I do know however, that there are clinics in saudi were professionals are offering art therapy
