What's the difference between a Counselling Psychologist and a Clinical Psychologist?

A Counselling Psychologist is a specialist in psychological therapy. A counselling psychologist can assist you in working through problems such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, as well as work problems and relationship issues. They can also help you to think in new ways, manage difficult emotional experiences and establish new ways of behaving.

A Clinical Psychologist is a specialist in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of psychological and mental health problems. A Clinical Psychologist will assess your emotional and functional well-being and will uncover the reason behind your problems. They will then help you to control and cope with with these difficulties and provide practical support to enable you to overcome them.

An initial consultation with us will enable us to determine the best option for you. As part of this we will use a range of scientifically proven assessments and interviews.  Both Counselling and Clinical Psychologists hold postgraduate qualifications and undergo ongoing, rigorous monitoring and training throughout their career.
