Finding your support

Psychologist or psychiatrist?

Both work in mental healthcare, and they often work together. What differs is their training and what each can offer you.

Talking and assessment

Psychologists

Psychologists support people through psychological assessment and talking or behavioural therapies. Training and areas of practice vary, so it is worth reading individual qualifications and approaches.

Talking, cognitive and behavioural therapies
Psychological and psychometric assessment
Work with individuals, couples, families and children
Ongoing sessions over weeks or months

A good place to start if you want to talk through feelings, relationships, stress or patterns you would like to understand.
