What is a psychologist?

A psychologist is a registered health professional who studies human behaviour, emotions, and mental processes. In Australia, psychologists must complete accredited university training and register with AHPRA to practice legally. They provide assessments, therapy, and evidence-based interventions for children, adolescents, and adults. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists do not prescribe medication but instead focus on therapeutic support. Their work helps individuals improve resilience, coping skills, and overall mental health.
