CORU is Ireland’s multi-profession health regulator. The role of CORU is to protect the public by promoting high standards of professional conduct, education, training and competence through statutory registration of health and social care professionals. Upon opening of the ‘Psychotherapist’ Register in the Republic of Ireland all CBPI accredited practitioners on the CBPI register must register with CORU. This is a condition of using the title ‘psychotherapist’ whether working in the public or in the private sector.
