I have read your article yes. But as someone who benefited from therapy and have a psychology degree and have seen many of my peers grinding years to get their qualifications, I don't appreciate this title at all. People might not be able to access therapy but it doesn't mean they should then be their own therapist, just like if someone can't access medical care, you wouldn't tell them to be their own doctor and examine themselves, it's just inappropriate. The disclaimer is not enough - it means you're totally aware of how inappropriate the title is yet you still use it, it's misleading.
