Clinical Psychology
Clinical Psychologists have a degree in Psychology, before going on to do a three year doctoral level training course in Clinical Psychology. They are trained to assess, understand and intervene with psychological problems across the age span, though they will often choose to specialize in one area, such as my choice to work with children and young people. All clinical psychologists should be registered to practice with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a talking therapy that focuses on the connections between what we think, feel and do. It is a collaborative endeavour in which the therapist works with the client to achieve their goals. It is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for problems such as anxiety and depression in children and young people.
