People often ask us “What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?” Both Psychologists and Psychiatrists work with the same goal in mind, to increase understanding, reduce psychological distress and to improve quality of life and functioning across a range of life areas, including; education, employment, relationships, interpersonal functioning and emotionally. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who can offer psychiatric assessment, including diagnosis, and medical treatment for a wide range of mental health difficulties.
