To practice as a psychologist within the European Union countries involves understanding the specific laws of the country where a person wants to reside and work. In most EU countries the practice of psychology is regulated, and specific qualifications are required to obtain a licence. To practice in an EU/EEA country with a foreign qualification, a psychologist may need to undergo a recognition process to validate their qualifications by the relevant Competent Authority (i.e. the regulator).
The EFPA Full Members that currently offer the EuroPsy Certificate have provided the summary below of the regulatory position in their country for psychologists and the contact information for the Competent Authority in their country. More information is also available on the national websites.
