關於有機構未經授權使用本公會標誌及虛假宣稱其碩士課程已獲本公會認可的事宜，本公會特別作出以下聲明：
  1. 我們注意到某機構未經授權使用本公會（HKICP）標誌，並在廣告中虛假聲稱其碩士課程獲得本公會認證或與本公會標準對齊。我們在此澄清，這些聲明完全不當且具誤導性。
  2. 本公會的標誌是一個受法律保護的註冊商標，僅限於本公會正式授權使用。任何未經授權的而使用我們的標誌，均視怍侵犯本會註册商標。
  3. 所有獲本公會認可的課程名單，均可於本公會官方網站查閱。敬請查詢及核實，請瀏覽：本公會官方網站 https://icphk.org.hk/en/registration/education-and-training/%E2%81%A0list-of-accredited-clinical-psychology-programmes。
  4. 本公會將採取法律行動維護本公會權益及認可制度的公信力。本公會同時提醒社會公眾及有意報讀相關課程人士，提高警覺，慎防受騙。

就明報於2025年11月3日刊登有關一名臨床心理學家在工作期間對一名10歲女童作出猥褻行為的報導，本公會特別作出以下的聲明：
  1. 對於事件帶來受害人的創傷，本公會表示誠切關心和慰問。
  2. 該名涉事違反法律及專業道德的臨床心理學家於法庭裁決及出獄後，在沒有專業監管的情況下，繼續以臨床心理學家的身份提供兒童服務，事件引起本公會及公眾極大憂慮。臨床心理服務使用者往往處於身心脆弱的狀態，而缺乏法定註冊與監管的臨床心理服務，容易令其保障嚴重不足。目前，香港尚未設立法定註冊制度以監管臨床心理學家的專業資格。換言之，任何人皆可不受限制地自稱為臨床心理學家，這種情況對公眾安全構成相當風險。
  3. 此事件不僅對受害者造成深遠傷害，也嚴重損害臨床心理服務的整體聲譽。當政府致力為防止兒童受害而推出強制舉報懷疑嚴重虐待兒童的法例時，本案例正是讓各界更嚴肅關注如何有效監管專業服務，保護服務使用者。
  4. 在香港特別行政區政府衛生署推行的「認可醫療專業註冊計劃」下，本公會是唯一獲認可管理臨床心理學家名冊的機構。只有本公會會員可以用「認可名冊臨床心理學家」的名銜。但由於申請作為本公會會員純屬自願性質，所以本會會籍存在沒有法定地位的嚴重漏洞。因涉案的臨床心理學家並非本公會會員，本公會對於該名人士沒有任何監管的權力。即若該涉案的臨床心理學家是本公會會員，本公會對於該名人士最大的懲處也只是開除其會籍，並未能防止該人士繼續以臨床心理學家的名銜繼續執業，為害市民。
  5. 本公會一向致力促請政府為臨床心理學家作出立法監管，這次事件的報告進一步證明立法監管服務以保障服務使用者的重要性。本公會將繼續積極與政府、相關機構及社會各界合作，推動立法及監管制度的建立。我們促請政府儘快透過簡明且具實效的立法程序，令本公會成為有法定地位的機構，有權力監管及約束在香港執業臨床心理學家的不當操守。
  6. 本公會繼續肩負維護專業標準及保障公眾福祉的責任，恪守專業標準，秉持嚴格的倫理準則，確保本公會會員「認可名冊臨床心理學家」均具備合乎標準的專業訓練水平及良好操守。我們亦會持續強化業界持續專業培訓與監察，加強臨床心理學服務的質素。
  7. 我們深信，建立健全的法定監管制度，是防止類似事件重演的根本途徑。公會敦促政府正視此問題，並迅速展開跟進行動，杜絕發生同類事件的機會。
