These include the ability to develop a high level of empathy with the client, tolerance of different value systems, a willingness and ability to cope with deep feelings and the capacity for self-awareness and self-reflection.

Psychotherapy is a post-graduate profession and applicants require either:
- a degree in psychology or a related discipline (such as sociology, education, theology, philosophy, etc.);
- a non-relevant degree (such as accounting, art, etc.) with appropriate training or experience;
- a qualification in the helping professions (such as psychiatric nursing, nursing, probation, social work, teaching, etc.);
- a counselling diploma or equivalent qualification;
- and/or, relevant work and/or life experience. (Students seeking such an exception will need to use the APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning) process to establish equivalence once they have been assessed for suitability
