Client Information
Nature of Service:The reasons why people enlist the service of a Clinical Psychologist vary considerably. Some people require assistance to help them through an immediate crisis whereas others come with quite long-standing difficulties. Psychologists are different from Psychiatrists in that they are not medical practitioners and do not prescribe medication. Psychology is the study of human behavior whereas Psychiatry is the study of mental illness. A Clinical Psychologist's qualifications include a 4-year undergraduate degree in Psychology and a 2-year postgraduate Masters degree in Psychology then 2-years additional weekly Clinical supervision. Some Clinical Psychologists also have other qualifications such as a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). A Ph.D. is the highest level of postgraduate degree which qualifies one to teach at university level and further specialize in a certain area (usually at least 4-years to complete). To maintain a high level of professional standards each of us is registered with the Australian Health Professional Regulation Agency, have completed further training with a diverse range of therapies and participate in regular supervision.
