Licensing practitioners is the responsibility of the government. Currently, the government of Tanzania has no act guiding psychology practices.

Another option is to practice under an organization with legal local registration.
Psychologists study behavior, which is an interaction of cognitive and affective states. They use various methods to study people’s behaviors and are skilled in reading non-verbal cues. They come to understand what people are experiencing by doing a thorough assessment through interviews, observation, and psychological tests. They can not know what people are thinking by simply looking at them.
