Psychologist

A psychologist is an educated and trained professional who specialises in understanding human behaviour and mental processes. Some psychologists help individuals to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and to address psychological issues generally. Others work in settings, such as schools, research institutions, industry and forensics to provide their expertise as psychologists.

Psychology

Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour. Research in psychology is based on testing the null hypothesis. Psychology encompasses a wide range of topics, including how people think and behave individually and in groups. Psychology covers a range of topics such as cognition, learning, motivation, perception, development, personality, and mental health.

Counselling

Counselling is a general term that refers to methods or approaches used by psychologists and other mental health professionals to address psychological issues in individuals or groups. These techniques are designed to help clients overcome stress, anxiety and depression. More generally, counselling helps people overcome challenges, develop coping skills, improve relationships, and achieve personal growth. Techniques can vary widely depending on the theoretical orientation of the therapist, the specific needs of the client, and the goals of therapy. Examples of therapeutic techniques include generic counselling, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, art therapy, and family therapy, among others.
