| Summary: | This article examines the identity of the profession, and the demographics of the national workforce of counsellors and psychotherapists in terms of their educational qualifications, age, professional experience, employment status, and geographical location, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics census data and four workforce studies. It provides context for and insight on the future direction of counselling and psychotherapy as a profession, including trends in service provision arising from advances in information and communication technology and time-poor client populations, and the need for PACFA’s training and ethical standards to keep pace in addressing new forms of education and practice enabled by technology. |
