Where should we start?
You don't need to work out whether your child needs a psychologist or a psychiatrist before reaching out. Here's the plain difference between the two.
Psychiatrist
A medical doctor who can assess mental health concerns, consider relevant medical factors, diagnose psychiatric conditions where appropriate, and discuss treatment options — including medication when clinically appropriate.
If you're not sure where to start, we'll explain the available options and help you arrange an appointment.

What happens at a first appointment
Psychology
The first conversation helps our specialist understand the situation and think through possible next steps together with you.
A parent can also book an individual consultation with a psychologist to discuss the situation and possible next steps before arranging an appointment for the child, if that feels useful.
Psychiatry
Not every first appointment ends in a diagnosis or a prescription. Sometimes more information or further assessment is needed before the next steps become clear.
