In today's video Dr. Becky explains the differences between Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Psychotherapists and Counsellors.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication, they usually cannot provide any type of talking therapy, however, this can vary dependant on the practitioner. Psychiatrists usually refer clients to other practitioners who can provide talking therapy. Psychiatrists can diagnose psychological disorders.
* Psychiatrists should be accredited by: RCPsych: [ Ссылка ]
Psychologists will have undertaken an undergraduate degree as well as a Doctorate, in order to be given the title "Dr." Psychologist training will usually take between 6-8 years in total.
Psychologists are usually trained in at least two types of talking therapy/ psychotherapy approaches. Psychologists are able to diagnose psychological disorders.

Psychotherapists usually have not undertaken a doctorate level training, usually psychotherapists cannot diagnose psychological disorders, but Cognitive Behavioural Therapists (CBT) can sometimes diagnoses anxiety and depression only. Psychotherapists can provide high quality talking therapy without diagnosing.

Counsellors are usually trained in Person- Centred therapy, but they are usually not trained in or qualified in specific evidence based type therapies. They are also not trained in how to formulate or diagnose. There will be a lot of emphasis based on listening with a counsellor and building the therapeutic relationship.
