FAQ
WHAT IS A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST?
Clinical Psychologists have studied psychology at University, usually for six or seven years. They have specialised in learning about how the feelings, actions, beliefs, experiences and culture of people affect the way they live. They have learned how to listen to, and understand, people’s emotional and psychological problems and how to help people make change.
All Clinical Psychologists should be registered with the New Zealand Psychologist’s Board. Clinical Psychologists use evidence-based therapies to support people to improve their lives.
