This momentous occasion was made possible under the provisions of Section 3 of the Counsellors and Psychologists Act No. 14 of 2014, which laid the foundation for the creation of this regulatory body. The core mission of the Board is to regulate and streamline these professions, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of professional practice and ethical conduct.
This achievement holds immense importance as it not only sets benchmarks for excellence but also ensures consumer protection, instills trust in clients, and fosters the growth and development of these professions in Kenya, ultimately benefiting both practitioners and those seeking their services.
As a State Corporation, the Counsellors and Psychologist Board has a multifaceted role. Beyond its regulatory responsibilities, it has a broader mandate to promote and expedite economic growth and development while driving social and economic transformation within the country. This mandate extends to instilling good corporate governance practices, enhancing operational efficiency, and improving service delivery to the public, all aimed at maximizing the value for money in the services it oversees.
