Developmental Psychologist

Developmental Psychologists are registered psychologists who specialise in child development issues and the challenges people face as they learn and grow throughout their lifetime. They provide therapy and support to children and adolescents, as well as their parents and teachers. Developmental Psychologists also help adults resolve issues and trauma that occurred during their childhood.

As a Developmental Psychologist you could be carrying out an initial assessment for a new client, researching attachment theory, helping a client understand their attachment style and how it is impacted by their upbringing, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to treat a client, or attending professional development training to keep your APAC registration up-to-date.
