Concerns and removals.

If you are in danger from anyone — including a therapist — this page is not the path: call 112 in the EU, 911 in North America, or a crisis line now.

If something about a listed therapist worries you — conduct, credentials, boundaries, anything — tell us in confidence. Every report is read by a person, and you can report without giving your name, though we can only follow up if you leave a way to reach you.

How to raise a concern

Use the contact form and describe what happened, without including your own health information. Say if you don't want to be contacted. We treat reports confidentially: we do not tell a therapist who reported, and we share details only where needed to act on the concern or where the law requires it — those are the confidentiality limits, stated plainly.

What happens to a report

1. A person reads it — nothing is triaged automatically.
2. A credible safety concern leads to the listing being suspended while we look, before any conclusion is reached.
3. We check what can be checked: registration status at the source, and the facts available to us.
4. We record what was checked, the source, the date and the outcome.
5. We tell you the outcome that concerns your report, where we can reach you.

Grounds for removal

• Misrepresented credentials, titles or registration status.
• Practising outside a valid registration where one is required.
• Serious conduct findings, or sanctions found at a register re-check.
• Repeated credible concerns that together show a pattern.
• A lapsed registration or insurance declaration that is not renewed after we ask.

What we are not

Saudade Therapy is a directory, not a regulator. We can suspend or remove a listing — the body with real power over a therapist's right to practise is their regulator or chamber, and for serious matters we will point you there and support your report where we can. Removal from the directory is not a finding of professional misconduct; only the regulator can make that finding.
