What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Clinical Psychologist?

At Insight, we are Clinical Psychologists, which means we have undertaken extra training at university level to be awarded a Master of Psychology (Clinical) or a Doctorate. In addition, we have work in the public mental health service to be exposed to a wide variety of mental illnesses and other difficulties and therefore gained experience in multiple assessment and treatment approaches.

This work is initially undertaken while being supervised by experienced clinical psychologists to review our practises. Finally, as clinical psychologists we are required to have ongoing specialist professional development to improve our knowledge by attending courses, lectures, or conferences and reading the latest journals.
