ABOUT PSYCHOLOGISTS
Highly trained professionalsPsychologists are trained in the delivery of a range of techniques and therapies with demonstrated effectiveness in treating mental health disorders. They are specialists in applying psychological theory and scientific research to solve complex problems requiring individually tailored interventions.
In addition to professional practice, psychologists may be involved in training and supervision, program development and evaluation, and other activities that promote psychological health in individuals, families, groups, and organisations. |
Scientific treatmentPsychologists apply scientifically validated procedures to help people change their thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
Psychotherapy is a team effort - it provides a supportive environment to talk openly and confidentially about concerns and feelings. Psychologists work with clients to change their feelings and attitudes and develop healthier and more effective patterns of behaviour. |
Experts in human behaviourPsychologists are experts in human behaviour, mental health assessments, diagnosis, and treatment.
Psychologists develop expertise in specific areas, or practice in sub-specialisations of psychology. They provide a wide range of psychological services to individuals across the lifespan and for mental health conditions that range from mild to severe. |
