Crystal therapy is currently not regulated by law in the UK, which means anyone can practice as a crystal therapist despite lacking the appropriate training and experience. In order to enable those searching for a crystal therapist to feel confident and reassured that their practitioner is properly qualified and is working to good standards, a number of Professional Associations have taken on the role of self-regulation.

Crystal therapists can choose to register with these associations, but in order to do so must meet the eligibility requirements as set by the organisation and must agree to comply with their code of ethics and complaints procedure.
