I thank the witnesses for their submissions and for taking the time to appear before the committee today. I ask Ms Coughlan to clarify why she believes the term "accredited counsellor" should be replaced with "psychologist". If the committee were to propose an amendment, should we try to capture several different professions? As some people might prefer a psychologist, rather than replacing "accredited counsellors" perhaps we should include psychologists and accredited counsellors for those who might want access to a different type of counsellor.
