Why choose a Clinical Psychologist?
Clinical Psychologist is a protected title in the UK that can only legally be used by HCPC registered practitioner psychologists. A Clinical Psychologist will typically have completed several years of academic study, clinical practice, and research activity. In the UK, Clinical Psychology training is offered as a doctoral course.
Through intensive training, a Clinical Psychologist becomes skilled in a number of areas, including comprehensive assessment, therapeutic intervention, consultation, teaching, training, and research. They are able to work across the lifespan with a diverse range of mental and physical health presentations.
Clinical Psychologists are bound by strict ethical and professional standards. These include the requirement for regular supervision and continuing professional development.
You can be confident that a therapist using the protected title of Clinical Psychologist has completed rigorous training and is regulated. Whereas, other titles such as counsellor, coach, and therapist are not protected (click image for more information).
As you put your trust into working with someone it is important to be sure about their qualifications and skills.
