Accreditations & Licenses

THE BALANCE operates under clearly defined regulatory, professional, and ethical frameworks across its international locations.

Accreditations and licences are not presented as marketing credentials, but as part of our commitment to clinical governance, accountability, and professional responsibility.

They ensure that our work meets established medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic standards and that care is delivered within recognized regulatory environments.

REGULATORY LICENSES

THE BALANCE directly and/or through its clinical team hold the required licences to operate as a healthcare provider in the jurisdictions in which it is active. These licences regulate the scope of services, professional oversight, and operational standards under which care is delivered.

Licensing frameworks vary by country and are subject to local health authorities, medical boards, and regulatory bodies. Compliance with these requirements is continuously monitored and reviewed.

Where applicable, medical and psychiatric services are provided by licenced physicians and specialists registered with the relevant national or regional authorities.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS & AFFILIATIONS

THE BALANCE and its clinical team maintain memberships and affiliations with recognized professional organizations. These bodies promote ongoing education, ethical standards, and peer accountability within their respective disciplines. Professional affiliations may include organizations related to:

• Psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine
• Psychology and psychotherapy
• Trauma-informed and somatic approaches
• Medical specialties and integrative care

Membership in these organizations supports continuous professional development and alignment with current best practices.

THERAPEUTIC & METHODOLOGICAL STANDARDS

Certain therapeutic modalities used at THE BALANCE require specific training, certification, or adherence to defined professional frameworks.

Where such methods are employed, they are delivered by appropriately trained practitioners and integrated into care plans under clinical oversight.

The use of any modality is guided by suitability, safety, and relevance to the individual case rather than by trend or availability.

CLINICAL GOVERNANCE & OVERSIGHT

Accreditations and licences form part of a broader governance structure that includes:

• Defined clinical leadership
• Multidisciplinary case review
• Ethical standards and internal policies
• Ongoing evaluation of care quality

Clinical governance ensures that treatment decisions are made responsibly, transparently, and with due consideration of long-term outcomes.

A NOTE ON TRANSPARENCY

Healthcare regulation and accreditation structures differ internationally. THE BALANCE does not claim equivalence between regulatory systems, nor does it present accreditations as guarantees of outcome.

Instead, they are understood as foundational safeguards that support responsible care delivery within complex clinical environments.

Further information regarding specific licences or professional affiliations can be provided upon request where appropriate.
