Question 4

What’s the difference between a Clinical Psychologist and other talking professionals?

Accepted Answer

As with all areas of life, working out if working with a Clinical Psychologist is the right approach and way of working for you requires an understanding of what we are and how we work. Clinical Psychologists have to go through extensive training through educational routes and are skilled and qualified in multiple evidence based approaches that we can draw on to support our clients. We have to undertake PHD level research and there’s a solid academic and experiential part of the course. In the NHS we tend to hold positions in services and teams that require strong leadership skills. Other talking therapies and holistic therapists exist and for many people, are another very credible and useful source of support.

Is there anyone you can’t work with or support?
