    That is against the law in most of the Western world. Therapists are licensed for a reason: They deal with very sensitive issues, people and contexts. You need to have someone who can go do these things who has passed a minimal level of qualification. You could do a LOT of damage if you go off and do therapy without knowing what you're doing.
