KEY POINTS:
A therapist who had sexual relationships with his clients has been labelled a "sexual predator" by the deputy health and disabilities commissioner.
Deputy commissioner Tania Thomas said Geoffrey Mogridge should not be allowed to practise as a counsellor or a natural therapies practitioner because he was a threat to vulnerable women.
"I view Mr Mogridge's behaviour as that of a sexual predator, not a "sick puppy" as he has euphemistically stated."
Mr Mogridge had several inappropriate relationships with clients, including one case when he was treating the woman's husband as well.
