    The difference between Clinical, Counselling and Educational Psychology

    By on December 20, 2011

      The difference between Clinical, Counselling, and Educational Psychology:

      For most parents, finding a psychologist to send their child to is a pretty daunting task.  This is often complicated even further by the lack of knowledge around the different disciplines and the apparent cross over between the services offered by each.

      Who does what? And how do you know where to send your child?  I often get asked the following questions: Do Educational psychologists only deal with Educational matters?  Many Clinical psychologists work with children – do they do the same thing as an Educational Psychologist?  What is the difference between a Counselor, a Psychologist and a Counseling Psychologist?
