INFORMATION ABOUT CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Clinical Psychology is an exclusively postgraduate profession. In order to receive recognition a practitioner must have both a degree in psychology and an appropriate postgraduate training. To qualify as a clinical psychologist can take between 6 to 7 years.

Postgraduate training leads to a Masters or Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. The background and training of clinical psychology is rooted in the science of psychology.  Clinical Psychology is one of the applications of this science to help solve human problems. A clinical psychologist is an expert at helping people resolve personal, emotional and relationship problems. You can expect a psychologist to conduct himself or herself in an ethical, professional manner, to show sensitivity to your feelings and to explain the issues of privacy and confidentiality regarding your visits.

In Ireland the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) regulates the practice of Clinical Psychology through the process of Registration.

The British Psychological Society (BPS) regulates the practice of Clinical Psychology through the process of Chartering, which ensures that those who practise have appropriate qualifications and experience and their services are of the highest quality and integrity.
Many Clinical Psychologists in Ireland are members of both professional societies. Both PSI & BPS regulates the profession by a Code of Practice to which all Clinical Psychologists must adhere.

You should also feel free to ask any psychologist you consult about his or her qualifications and experience. A well-qualified psychologist will not be offended by such questions and will be happy to provide the information you request.
