Psychological Therapy with Serendipity Psychology
What is a Psychologist?
Psychologists are highly trained and experienced mental health professionals. They are most often trained to doctoral level and have several years of practice-based training and education in psychology. As such, they are able to provide psychological therapy to a wide variety of presentations and client needs including a range of populations including individuals, couples, families and groups at the organisational and community level. They will have experience and training in working in both specialist and general services and across a variety of settings including in-patient and community, primary, secondary and tertiary care and with all age groups and presentations including adult mental health and with children and young people.
There are a number of competencies a psychologist would be expected to achieve in order to become a psychologist, including:
- Assessment
- Formulation
- Intervention
- Evaluation
- Research
- Communication and teaching
- Leadership
They would also be required to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as Practitioner Psychologists.
