PsychologistA psychologist is a researcher and/or a practitioner of psychology.

They are specially trained to provide professional counseling on psychological and emotional issues. Psychology is such a wide field that practitioners often specialise in one particular area - Child psychologists (who specialise in working with children and adolescents)
- Clinical psychologists
- Marriage counsellors
- Family therapists etc.
