What therapy costs in Hungary
In Hungary a person may go to psychiatric and addictology outpatient care without a referral. Government Decree 217/1997 (XII. 1.) sets that out in section 2. Where a service is charged for, Government Decree 284/1997 (XII. 23.) governs the charge.
The provider must publish its charges in a way patients can reach. It must tell the person what the charge is likely to be before the service. It must give an invoice after it.

Registration and licensing
Hungary's statutory professional chamber for doctors is the Magyar Orvosi Kamara. The regulated professional identity it holds is the physician, the orvos, with specialisms recorded in its registers where they apply.
A psychiatrist is therefore checked here as a doctor rather than under a separate psychiatric title. A clinical specialist psychologist holds a health qualification, so they appear on the national health register.
The National Directorate General for Hospitals (OKFŐ) keeps it, and anyone can search it by name. Under section 103 of the Health Act CLIV of 1997, independent psychotherapy is left to a specialist doctor (szakorvos) or a clinical specialist psychologist (klinikai szakpszichológus) who also holds a psychotherapy qualification.
Pszichoterapeuta is that added qualification, not a profession of its own.
