Clinical Psychology in Jersey
Clinical psychology at The Wellness Centre (Castle Quay) aims to reduce psychological distress and enhance psychological well-being. Clinical Psychologists deal with a wide range of difficulties including:
- Anxiety
- Low mood & depression
- Stress
- Sleep difficulties
- Anger difficulties
- Bereavement and loss
- Low self-esteem (including difficulties with assertiveness)
Clinical psychologists are able to draw on a variety of different therapeutic models depending on what suits the person and the difficulties they are experiencing. Interventions are based on a thorough assessment and formulation (collaborative understanding of why a person’s difficulties have developed and what’s keeping them going). All interventions are person-centered, meaning the client does not need to fit into a diagnostic ‘box’ to receive therapy.
Clinical Psychologists vs Psychotherapist/Counsellors
Psychotherapy is an umbrella term for any professional who provides therapy for clients. A psychotherapist/counsellor could be from a range of backgrounds with various levels of qualification. There are currently no laws regarding who can call themselves a psychotherapist/counsellor, however registrations with a professional body (e.g. BABCP, UKCP) means a counsellor/psychotherapist has satisfied certain rules on training and practice.
Clinical Psychologist is a protected title meaning that it can only be used if you have met the necessary requirements of a 3-year Doctorate in Clinical Psychology approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
