What is a Chartered Psychologist?
The title "Chartered Psychologist" is legally recognised and requires the individual to:
- have a recognised first degree in Psychology
- have recognised postgraduate qualifications, or
- have undergone approved postgraduate training and supervision
- have been judged 'fit to practise' independently, and
- have agreed to follow a strict Code of Conduct and be answerable to a disciplinary system, in which non-psychologists form the majority.
If you would like to ensure that you are contracting the services of a fully qualified psychologist, visit the
British Psychological Society (BPS) website and search the Register of Chartered Psychologists, using the "Find a Psychologist" link.
