National psychological counselor is a certificate issued by the Ministry of Human Resources, which belongs to the national level; The certification of Shanghai and PEPC is municipal, and the national certificates are the same, while the municipal certificates are not recognized in other cities.

If you take the test of psychological counselors, it is recommended to take the national test, because the national seal of the certificate is the Ministry of Human Resources, which is common throughout the country. Shanghai's certificate is only from the Vocational Skills Appraisal Bureau, Shanghai. It can only be used in other parts of Shanghai and is not recognized. And the national is universal. Of course, the certificate is just a dead letter. Whether you can be a psychological counselor depends on the comprehensive handling ability of your practitioners. If you can't do it, it's no use taking the certificate.
