Statutes of the association VpsyB e.V.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Executive Committee is the Executive Board within the meaning of Section 26 BGB. It manages all of the association's activities and ensures that the resolutions of the General Meeting are implemented.

Why our commitment?

VpsyB Commitment

Verband psychologischer Berater is actively committed to establishing the profession of psychological counselor outside of the medical profession in Germany. Through clear training and qualification standards, the promotion of professionalism and quality assurance as well as cooperation with other healthcare professionals, psychological counseling can be raised to a higher level. This would help to protect clients, promote mental health and establish psychological counseling as a valuable support in our society.

Here are some reasons why Verband psychologischer Berater supports the establishment of the job description: 

  • Protection of clients: Establishing the profession of psychological counselor outside of the healing arts would help protect clients from unqualified and unethical practices. Through clear training and qualification standards, those providing psychological counseling can demonstrate that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide quality support to their clients.
  • Professionalization of the profession: The establishment of the job description would help to professionalize the profession of psychological counsellor. Clear standards and guidelines for training and practice would enable counselors to demonstrate their professionalism and competence. This would strengthen public confidence in psychological counseling and facilitate collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
  • Recognition of the profession: Establishing the profession of psychological counsellor outside of the medical profession would lead to official recognition of the profession. This would help to strengthen public confidence in psychological counselling and professionalize the profession. It would also help to facilitate collaboration with other healthcare professionals and promote the integration of psychological counseling into the healthcare system.
  • Relief for the healthcare system: Establishing the profession of psychological counselor outside of the medical profession can relieve the burden on the healthcare system. By providing people with psychological counseling support at an early stage, mental illnesses can potentially be avoided or at least mitigated. This can lead to a reduction in costs in the healthcare system and free up resources for those who need more urgent medical help.
  • Quality assurance: Verband psychologischer Berater is committed to high quality standards in psychological counseling. By establishing the job description, clear training and further education standards can be defined. This ensures that those who offer psychological counseling have the necessary knowledge and skills to provide their clients with high-quality support.
  • Promoting collaboration: Establishing the profession of psychological counselor outside of the medical profession would facilitate collaboration with other healthcare professionals. Through clear professional standards and official recognition of the profession, psychological counselors can be better integrated into the healthcare system. This would lead to improved collaboration and a holistic approach to supporting clients.
  • Need for psychological support: In today's society, there is a growing need for psychological support. More and more people are seeking help to cope with stress, life crises, relationship problems and other mental health challenges. Psychological counselors can meet this need, at least for mentally healthy people, by offering professional and accessible support.
  • Complementing medical care: Psychological counselors can be an important supplement to medical care. They can support people who do not have a mental illness but still need help in coping with everyday problems and promoting their mental health. Establishing the profession of psychological counselor outside the medical profession will create a broader range of support options.
  • Promoting mental health: Establishing the profession of psychological counselor outside the medical profession would help to promote mental health in our society. By receiving psychological support at an early stage and learning how to deal with stress and strain, people can reduce the risk of developing mental disorders. Psychological counselors can certainly play an important role in the primary prevention of mental illness and help people to maintain and strengthen their mental health.

    Verband psychologischer Berater is actively committed to ensuring that psychological counsellors outside of the medical profession are recognized and protected in Germany. By establishing the profession, people can receive high-quality psychological support and the preservation of mental health in our society can be promoted.

    Psychological counseling is not a medical treatment and should not be!

    Non-medical psychological counseling refers to a form of counseling that aims to help people maintain their mental health, cope with life crises and provide primary prevention of mental illness. In contrast to psychotherapy, which focuses on the treatment of mental disorders, psychological counseling focuses on the promotion of well-being and personal development. 

    In contrast to psychotherapy, which is an activity aimed at identifying, curing or alleviating disorders with disease value, psychological counseling is about helping mentally healthy people with specific life problems and/or developing strategies to maintain mental health. It supports and advises individuals, couples, families, teams and groups in developing solutions to achieve positive change, and advises, supports and accompanies these groups of people in decision-making and problem situations.

    An important aspect of psychological counseling is the strengthening of individual resources and abilities. The counselor supports the client in identifying and promoting their strengths and potential.
    New perspectives are opened up and solutions developed through targeted discussions using various counseling methods and exercises. The client is encouraged to use their own resources and actively tackle change.

    Psychological counseling can be helpful in various areas of life. It can help people to improve their relationships, overcome professional challenges, reduce stress, overcome non-pathological fears and boost self-esteem. It can also provide support in coping with loss, separation or other life crises and in stressful phases of life.

    Another important aspect of psychological counseling is the primary prevention of mental illness. By receiving support at an early stage and learning how to deal with stress and strain, people can reduce the risk of developing mental disorders. Psychological counseling can help people become more resilient and better able to cope with life's challenges.

    It is important to emphasize that psychological counselling outside the field of medicine is not a substitute for medical or psychotherapeutic treatment. In the case of mental illness or acute crises, it is advisable to seek professional help. However, psychological counseling can be a valuable addition to such treatment.

    Verband psychologischer Berater is committed to promoting the quality and professionalism of psychological counseling outside of the medical profession. Our members have in-depth training and regular further training to ensure that they can offer their clients the best possible support.

    If you are interested in psychological counseling or would like more information, our members will be happy to assist you. Contact us today to make an appointment and strengthen your mental health.
