What’s the difference between a counsellor and a psychologist?

Counsellors are mental health professionals with specialised training and experience in talk-therapies. They utilise interpersonal skills and work collaboratively with clients to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

Psychologists are regulated health care professionals who are registered with AHPRA. They generally see clients who have been diagnosed with a mental health problem, or who are suffering from more severe and complex issues.
