Do Oxford:
Professional - Engaged in one of the learned or skilled professions, or in a calling considered socially superior to a trade or handicraft.
Profession - The occupation which one professes to be skilled in and to follow. A vocation in which a professed knowledge of some department of learning or science is used in its application to the affairs of others or in the practice of an art founded upon it. Applied spec. to the three learned professions of divinity, law, and medicine; also to the military profession. In wider sense: Any calling or occupation by which a person habitually earns his living.
Now usually applied to an occupation considered to be socially superior to a trade or handicraft; but formerly, and still in vulgar (or humorous) use, including these.

Do Houaiss:
Profissão liberal - aquela de nível superior que habilita o indivíduo a trabalhar por conta própria, como medicina, odontologia, advocacia etc.

Do Aurélio:
Profissão liberal - Profissão de nível superior caracterizada pela inexistência de qualquer vinculação hierárquica e pelo exercício predominantemente técnico e intelectual de conhecimentos.

Do Michaelis:
Liberal - Diz-se de profissões de nível superior como o magistério, a advocacia, a medicina, a engenharia etc.

  -> O substantivo "professional", em inglês, quase sempre se refere ao que chamamos, no Brasil (não sei se também é usado em Portugal), de "profissionais liberais". Como "professional", no contexto, é substantivo, muito provavelmente seja o caso.
