What does a Clinical Psychologist do?
Clinical Psychologists work with people who have emotional, behavioural or neurological disorders. They have usually earned a Degree in Psychology and after a few years' practice have gone on to complete a three-year doctorate.
They must be registered by the HCPC in order to practice. Most will belong to a professional body like the BPS, which ensures standards.
