Licensing arrangements for therapy differ a great deal from one country to the next, and for Iran TherapyRoute cannot point you to a national register to check a practitioner against. That is a limit of what we hold, not a statement that no such body exists. The questions still travel: ask a practitioner what training they completed, what title they use, and whether they hold a registration anywhere, then ask to see it.
Someone who is registered will answer plainly. You can read how therapy regulation differs between countries.
What a session costs varies with training, setting and where the practice is. See how to think about the cost of therapy.
Real choice. Authentic, independent, clinician-led care.
TherapyRoute is a clinician-led directory that champions independent practitioners who answer to you and their professional ethics, not to investors or corporate interests. We don't take commissions, sell your data, or assign therapists by algorithm. You browse, compare, and choose.
