Claire Waxman , the independent victims’ commissioner for London , calls for transparency.

i exposed how therapists who had been struck off for serious misconduct were still seeing vulnerable patients.

Waxman said a system of transparency needs to be introduced similar to Clare’s Law , the domestic abuse disclosure scheme.

Currently, anyone seeking therapy can go to the police if their therapist breaks the law, or they can make a complaint to the professional organisation their therapist is a member of. If the support was provided by the NHS , a complaint can be brought through the NHS trust. But many therapists operate outside these parameters. A Department of Health spokesperson said people should choose accredited therapists and come forward to “seek justice” if something goes wrong..
