Clinical/Counselling Psychologists
Clinical/Counselling Psychologists help to improve emotional and social well-being. They do not prescribe medications to treat mental illness. However, they are trained to treat more severe mental health issues. They use psychological techniques, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychoanalytic therapy; along with multiple other approaches.
In order to call yourself a Chartered Clinical/Counselling Psychologist you must complete a Ph.D. in Psychology before being able to see patients and utilize these techniques.
In addition to the delivery of psychotherapy, Psychologists may undertake a variety of activities, including psychological testing, research, and teaching.
Neuropsychologist
A Neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specialises in understanding the relationship between the physical brain and behaviour. The brain is complex. Disorders within the brain and nervous system can alter behavior and cognitive function.
Psychiatrist
Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioural disorders.
A Psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. They can prescribe medication and also do talk therapy services.
At Buckinghamshire Psychology we do not have a Psychiatrist a part of our team, however, we do have many lead Psychiatrists we refer to and work alongside with.
