CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is the scientific study of human thought and behaviour, and Clinical Psychologists have the most extensive (both in terms of breadth and length) training of any mental health therapist. They are qualified to deliver talking therapies of many different kinds, unlike counsellors, psychotherapists or CBT therapists who are usually qualified to deliver one type of therapy. Unlike psychiatrists, they are not qualified to prescribe medication, but may be able to advise on its use.
