Psychologist

Psychologists study the human mind and behaviour. In the UK, they may work in clinical settings, schools, research institutions, or private practices. Their work can involve assessing and treating mental health problems, conducting therapy sessions, developing treatment plans, and carrying out research to better understand how people think, feel, and act. Psychologists often specialise in areas such as clinical psychology, educational psychology, occupational psychology, or forensic psychology. To become a psychologist in the UK, you typically need a degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society, followed by postgraduate training or a doctorate in your chosen field.
