50%
60.9/ 100
1 Share of the sophrologist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the traditional chinese medicine therapist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A sophrologist role treats 18 of its required skills as things a traditional chinese medicine therapist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- acupuncture methods
- apply acupuncture
- apply context specific clinical competences
- carry out preventative internal medicine interventions
- complementary and alternative medicine
- develop therapeutic relationships
What stands in the way is 14 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sophrologist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a traditional chinese medicine therapist background worth leading with.
- already held complementary and alternative medicine health and welfare
- already held acupuncture methods health and welfare
- already held observe healthcare users information skills
- already held carry out preventative internal medicine interventions communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held follow-up on healthcare users' treatment communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held relaxation techniques services
All 21 carried skills, including the 18 the sophrologist role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a sophrologist role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
