What is a Clinical Psychologist?

Clinical Psychologists have specialised training and expertise in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of major mental illness and psychological problems.  

They provide a wide range of services for mental health issues ranging from mild to severe.  

Clinical Psychologists are trained in implementing scientifically validated, evidence-based treatments, and are specialists in applying psychological theory and scientific research to the difficulties facing their clients.

Consulting an APS psychologist ensures you receive expert psychological services of the highest standard.
