What is a Clinical Psychologist? Clinical psychologists have specialist training in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of major mental illness and complex psychological problems.  Through their specialist skills, they are able to provide a range of varied treatments and interventions which have been demonstrated to be effective for mental health problems and other forms of inter-personal difficulties.

Most clinical psychologists develop expertise in specific areas of practice. Some choose to specialise in particular groups (such as children, couples or older adults), whilst other develop expertise in specific problems (such as trauma, depression, gambling).

Psychologists do not prescribe drugs, but if medication is necessary, can work along side your General Practitioner, or other medical specialist, to support you in developing additional skills and strategies for addressing your needs.
