Psychologists study the science of human behaviour and mental processes by conducting research and applying research findings. They use this research to help people reduce distress, change negative thinking patterns & behaviours and facilitate self awareness.
All our Psychologists are University educated for a minimum of 4 Years. They must then complete either 2 years of further education or 2 years of supervision from a registered psychologist. Psychologists who hold a specialist title (such as Clinical Psychologist or Counselling Psychologist) have completed a minimum of 6 years of University education.
Psychologists are trained in a range of different psychological therapies and individuals play an important part in their own counselling sessions by working with the psychologist to understand their feelings, thoughts and actions Psychologists use non-drug treatments and do not prescribe medication, but where appropriate, they may work with other medical practitioners such as GPs, who may prescribe medication as part of an overall treatment.
