Anyone can call themselves a psychologist. Only HCPC-registered Psychologists can use the protected titles such as Clinical, Counselling or Health Psychologist.

The same is true of ‘therapist’ and ‘counsellor’: anyone can use them. Some talking therapists may choose to join a voluntary register held by a professional body but this is not required by law. The HCPC holds every registered Psychologist to account for their practice: they must meet its standards and can be restricted or removed from the Register if they fall short. We list only Psychologists you can find on the HCPC Register.

Why does HCPC
registration matter?

In the UK, anyone can call themselves a “psychologist”, “therapist” or “counsellor”. These words are not protected by law. Titles such as Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist and Health Psychologist are protected. Only people registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) can use them.

Your mental health deserves the same protection as your physical health.

Doctors must be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). Clinical, Counselling and Health Psychologists must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Both are regulators set up by Act of Parliament to protect the public.
