Clinical Psychologists integrate clinical knowledge, science and theory to understand and treat emotional distress, helping people make positive change to their lives. They also help people to achieve the most out of life, in line with their vision and values.

It may be surprising to know that anyone can call themselves a ‘Psychologist’.

‘Clinical Psychologist’ is a legally protected title, which means only professionals who meet and maintain the strict standards set out by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) can use it. All Clinical Psychologists must be registered with the HCPC. This ensures that when you meet with a Clinical Psychologist, you can be safe in your knowledge that they have the qualifications, ongoing experience and ethics of practice to support the mental health and wellbeing of clients. You can check the HCPC website to ensure your Clinical Psychologist is registered at http://www.hpc-uk.org/check/.

Some Clinical Psychologists also are referred to as a ‘Chartered Psychologist’ (CPsychol) which means they are registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS). “The title of Chartered Psychologist is legally recognized and reflects only the highest standard of psychological knowledge and expertise” (BPS).

You can check the register of chartered psychologists at https://www.bps.org.uk/lists/cpsychol

​‘Coaches’, ‘Counsellors’, and ‘Therapists’ are not yet legally regulated professions. Many choose to register with one of the main professional bodies, such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). These bodies ensure that anyone on their registers have the appropriate qualifications and experience. You should always check the qualifications of a support professional before considering to work with them.
