I am currently doing a NHCA Psychotherapy and Psychodynamics course. I have completed several other certificate courses that allow me to call myself a practitioner. After completing the current course, I have an opportunity to do an internship under my mentor. After I complete everything, will I be able to call myself a therapist?

I know I'm not allowed to diagnose anyone or give them any treatment that I'm not certified for. I am never going to call myself a psychologist unless I complete my bachelor and master degree.

I have started a club and many people come for help. Most of them do not understand the term practitioner. So can I legally call myself a therapist after the course or internship is completed?
