Psychologist

Unlike psychiatry, psychology is a non-medical discipline that has been concerned with the normal functioning of the mind and has explored areas such as learning, remembering and the normal psychological development of children. Psychologists will have earned a psychology degree at a university. However, only a small proportion of those who complete a psychology degree go on to work with patients. Those who do are known as clinical psychologists. Many will have gone on to complete a doctorate before doing a further, compulsory three years of work and training with patients on one of the training plans established around the country.

Psychologists are not able to prescribe medication; they concentrate exclusively on psychological or "talking treatments." They treat a wide range of conditions, including phobias, depression, other individual emotional problems and family problems.
