Therapy - Psychology

Psychologists study human behaviour, conduct research and apply research findings in order to reduce distress, behavioural and psychological problems, and to promote mental health in individuals and groups.

Counselling and clinical psychologists have a degree in psychology and then at least a further three years of post-graduate training including a Masters, Post-Graduate Practitioner Diplomas or Doctorates; and completion of a minimum of 400 hours of supervised client contact in order to qualify for Chartered Status.

Both counselling and clinical psychologists share training in several psychotherapeutic models, primarily with:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Systemic Psychotherapy
• Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
• and with a lesser emphasis on Person Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

Why is Chartered status important?
When a psychologist is registered as a Chartered Psychologist members of the general public can be confident that he or she is properly qualified and experienced in the treatment of psychological problems.

The title 'Chartered Psychologist' is protected by the privy council and is a guarantee that the person you are consulting is fully qualified. Felix is a recognised health care provider for:
