Psychologist

A Psychologist treats a range of mental, emotional and behavioural issues. You might assess patient needs and develop a treatment plan. Psychologists may provide counselling or prepare referrals to other health services. You might be employed in a private psychology practice or work in other health facilities such as hospitals.

Psychologists should have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds. You’ll need to be a good listener and be able to understand individual patient circumstances. Psychologists should have good analytical skills and be able to manage their time well.
