How are Counselling Psychologists different from Clinical Psychologists?

Clinical Psychologists use a research-based approach and employ psychometric tests and observations. They work with more serious mental health issues such as schizophrenia, psychosis, and behavioural problems. They diagnose and treat issues with medications and lifestyle modifications. They work in clinical settings like hospitals or residential centres. A Counselling Psychologist will more likely work with healthier patients with relatively less serious mental health issues. They help people deal with physical, emotional and mental health concerns to improve their overall sense of well‐being, relieve feelings of distress, and resolve crises. A counselling psychologist works with clients usually in a non-clinical setting like a counselling centre.
