Clinical psychologists

Clinical psychologists assess, diagnose, and treat people who are suffering from psychological distress or mental illness. They also provide psychotherapy and plan treatment.

Clinical psychologists are frequently employed in hospitals, mental health clinics, and private practise. They are trained in a wide range of treatment techniques, but may specialise in treating specific disorders or working with specific populations. A clinical psychologist, for example, might specialise in substance abuse treatment, child mental health, adult mental health, or geriatric mental health.

While clinical psychologists frequently work in medical settings, they are not physicians and cannot, in most cases, prescribe medications.

Counseling psychologists

Counseling psychologists offer psychotherapy to people who are suffering from psychological disturbances, behavioural problems, emotional difficulties, stress, and other issues. These professionals have a lot in common with clinical psychologists.

School psychologists

School psychologists assist students in dealing with emotional, academic, social, and behavioural issues in the classroom. Professionals in this branch of psychology play an important role in the educational system, collaborating with parents, teachers, students, and other school personnel to ensure that the learning environment is healthy, safe, supportive, and productive.

Children who are struggling with a problem, whether it is behavioural, emotional, or academic in nature, can work with a school psychologist to devise an effective solution.
