Regular interaction with clients is a consistent part of any counselling practice. With this in mind, you may face situations where your clients look to hold you responsible for injuries they deem to have received.
Professional Liability insurance protects you against liability or allegations of liability for injury or damages that have resulted from a negligent act, error, omission, or malpractice that has arisen out of your professional capacity as a counsellor/psychotherapist.
