Finding an accredited therapist can be hard and confusing. Here is a brief summary to try and help understand the different terms and backgrounds. Clinical Psychologists are trained professionals who have attended a high standard of training to a doctoral level. They are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and their training involves working with individuals across the lifespan and a range of psychological assessments and interventions. This is the training I have completed, alongside other specialist and accredited training. Psychiatrists are medically trained and regulated by the General Medical Council, and they tend to prescribe medication to help with mental health conditions. Counsellors and Psychotherapists have often attended some degree of training and they can be regulated by professional bodies such as the UKCP.   The terms Psychologist, Counsellor, Therapist, are not protected and regulated terms, therefore, some individuals practice using these terms without indepth training. When looking for support from a mental health professional, it is important ask what specific training they have done and if they are a member of a professional body.
