What is a Clinical Psychologist?

A Clinical Psychologist is someone who has been trained to help people make sense of their difficulties and think about the best way of dealing with them. They will speak with you about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours around any struggles. Psychologists will not make decisions for you, but will take your difficulties or worries seriously and, where appropriate, work with you to find more helpful ways to manage them.

Clinical Psychologists have undertaken at least six years of training (undergraduate degree and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology). Paediatric Clinical Psychologists have specialised in working with children with physical health conditions and the challenges that these can bring for them and their families. Psychologists are not medically qualified but work alongside a young person’s medical team and other health and social care workers to understand the young person’s needs and circumstances. Having a chance to talk regularly in a confidential session often helps children and families feel that their experiences are better understood by the whole team; so that their experiences, beliefs, choices, reactions, and behaviours are taken into account.
