More about Psychology

Psychology is both a science and a profession, devoted to understanding how people think, feel, behave, and learn.
 
As a science, psychology is the study of the human mind and its wide-ranging functions and influences. Psychological research advances our understanding of human emotion, personality, intelligence, memory, perception, cognition, attention, and motivation, as well as the biological processes that drive these human functions and behaviours.
 
In essence, psychology studies individuals and groups to better understand how people, communities and societies function and ways to help them thrive.
 
As a profession, psychology refers not just to the study of human thinking and behaviour, but to put that knowledge into practice, to help people, communities, and society in general to solve day-to-day problems and improve quality of life.

Psychology is therefore also a profession, devoted to helping people and the community find solutions to real life problems such as improving mental health and wellbeing, learning, performance, relationships, and societal cohesiveness.
 
Broadly speaking, most psychologists provide assessment and therapy to clients, help facilitate organisational or social change, conduct psychological research, or administer psychological tests to individuals or groups.

A psychologist can help with:

  • Recent grief
  • Inability to wind down
  • Anxiety / twitching
  • Feeling down
  • Trauma that you cannot stop thinking about
  • Not sleeping well
  • Increased alcohol use or drug use
  • Work issues / poor performance
  • Bullying or other stress at work
  • Lack of enjoyment of activities eg: stopped going to exercise etc
  • Self-isolation / not spending time with family or friends
  • Relationship issues
  • Friendship issues
