If you're struggling with mental health issues that affect your daily life, a clinical psychologist can provide professional support and guidance. Clinical psychologists are experts in mental health, offering therapy for people dealing with complex emotional, psychological, or behavioural issues.
What is a Clinical Psychologist?
Clinical psychologists are highly trained professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of mental health problems. They help people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and more. Unlike psychiatrists, clinical psychologists do not prescribe medication but use talk therapies to help clients manage their mental health.
They are trained in evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), schema therapy, EMDR, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These methods help people understand their thoughts and behaviours and find healthier ways to cope with stress and challenges.
How Therapy Works
Your first session with a clinical psychologist will involve discussing your concerns, history, and goals for therapy. From there, your psychologist will create a personalised treatment plan. Therapy may focus on reducing symptoms, building coping skills, or working through past trauma.
You’ll meet regularly, either weekly or fortnightly, and review your progress along the way. Many people find therapy not only helps them feel better but also gives them tools they can use for life.
When Should You See a Clinical Psychologist?
You might consider seeing a clinical psychologist if:
You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sad most of the time
You have trouble managing stress, anger, or low self-esteem
You're dealing with trauma or loss
You’ve been diagnosed with a mental health condition
