WHAT IS A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST?

A clinical psychologist is a health professional with a doctoral level degree in the applied science of mind and behaviour, as well as clinical experience supporting children, adults and older adults experiencing distress. ‘Clinical psychologist’ is a protected title requiring professional registration with a regulatory body (HCPC).  You can trust that a clinical psychologist has met academic and clinical standards which enable them to practise ethically and effectively. 

​

A counsellor or psychotherapist have had training in therapy skills and clinical experience using these, but are not required to have a doctoral level qualification.  They may voluntarily register with professional bodies such as the BACP or UKCP, though there is not a legal standard for using these titles.  Unlike psychiatrists (medical doctors), clinical psychologists do not prescribe medication and draw from specialist knowledge of a wide range of talking therapies to provide a personalised approach to your needs.
