What is a Clinical Psychologist?

Psychologists are experts in human behaviour & aim to understand how people think, feel & act. 

Clinical Psychologists have received additional specialist training in the assessment & treatment of psychological problems & mental illnesses.

Clinical Psychologists do not prescribe medication. Medication is prescribed by a Medical Practitioner and may be used in conjunction with psychological treatment. For some problems a combination of medication and therapy is needed to produce the best results.
