We are Psychologists
Psychology has long captivated human minds, attracting many to its vast and diverse field. With growing awareness of mental health, the demand for psychology professionals, particularly clinical psychologists, is rising. Focuses on assessing and managing psychological depression, intrusive thoughts, PTSD, OCD, and anxiety disorders but also emphasizes overall mental well-being.
Additionally, neuropsychological support and neurodiversity-inclusive approaches play a crucial role in enhancing quality of life and fostering healthier relationships in both health and illness.
Clinical Psychologist can offer counselling services and function as a Counselling Psychologist. However, there are some key distinctions between the two roles:
Clinical Psychologist vs. Counselling Psychologist
| Aspect | Clinical Psychologist (RCI-Licensed) | Counselling Psychologist (Non-RCI accredited) |
|---|---|---|
| Regulation | Must be RCI-certified to practice independently | No RCI certification required |
| Education | MPhil Clinical Psychology (RCI-approved) / PsyD | MA/MSc in Psychology/Counselling Psychology |
| Focus Area | Assessing & managing mental health disorders, but can also offer counselling for life challenges | Helping individuals with everyday life challenges (e.g., stress, work burn outs, relationships) |
| Settings | Hospitals, rehabilitation centres, private practice | Schools, corporate sectors, wellness centres |
| Therapeutic Approach | Evidence-based clinical interventions (CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, etc) in addition to Counselling approaches | Counselling (Talk therapy), life coaching, client-centred approaches |
Yes! A Clinical Psychologist is trained in both clinical and counselling approaches, so they can easily provide counselling services for personal growth, relationship issues, stress management, etc.
Clinical Psychologists with their advanced training in both clinical and counselling approaches, can offer both counselling and clinical assessments and interventions —something a Counselling Psychologist (without RCI certification) cannot do for varying levels of mental health conditions.
Counselling Psychologist cannot work as a Clinical Psychologist unless they complete an RCI-approved program (MPhil Clinical Psychology or PsyD) and obtain RCI certification.
However, if someone only needs general counselling (for career guidance, stress management, or self-improvement), a well-trained, qualified and experienced Counselling Psychologist can still be a great choice.
Yes, Clinical Psychologists are generally better qualified and more experienced to offer counselling services compared to Counselling Psychologists, but the distinction depends on training, specialization, and work experience.
