About Sydney Clinical
Psychologist

of psychology to mental distress and problems

issues and infrastructure and health care. A
“Clinical Psychologist” is a professional who
is equipped to assess mental health issues and
problems, research them scientifically to
understand with an objective of developing and

Psychologist Vs
Psychiatrist
A clinical psychologist
possesses 2 year supervision or a postgraduate
qualification in addition to a four year
degree in psychology. The main objective of a
psychologist is to help the patient or the
client alter problematic behavior patterns and
discipline their thought processes to develop
the right strategies to deal with challenges
of life. A psychologist is no doctor and
therefore cannot prescribe medication. A
psychiatrist on the other hand is a medical
doctor who has specialized in the study of
mental health. Psychiatrists can prescribe
medication owing to having a medical degree.
Psychiatrists and psychologists, both alike,
are required to adhere to a code of
professional ethics.
