As far as I know, there are two accredited counselling bodies in the country. It was recently brought to my attention that if a person was registered with one, he or she could be employed by the HSE, but if he or she was registered with the other body, he or she could not. Is that true? I do not have the names of the two bodies - I was not given them - but there seems to be a conflict and I do not know why.
