Many individuals often wonder about the differences between psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors. In Australia, psychologists undergo six years of full-time study to be eligible for full registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. This rigorous process typically includes four years of psychology studies at university, followed by either two years of supervised practice or postgraduate study at the Masters or Doctorate level. Once registered, psychologists are usually eligible for a Medicare provider number, which allows clients with a Mental Health Care Plan to be Bulk Billed or claim rebates for psychological services. This registration also ensures consumer protection, allowing you to report any breaches of confidentiality or unethical behavior to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
On the other hand, psychiatrists are medical specialists who obtain a medical degree and then undergo specialist training in psychiatry. Due to their medical background, psychiatrists are able to prescribe medication and often work with individuals facing more severe mental and emotional difficulties.
In contrast, counselors or therapists can set up their practice without formal registration or training. However, many ethical professionals in these fields have undergone tertiary training at the university or TAFE level, ensuring their effectiveness and adherence to ethical standards.

Reviews
"Barry is very competent, professional Psychologist, who displays understanding and empathy. Barry has provided me with strategies to cope and sound advice when I have needed counseling. His unwavering support and advice has given me the strength to cope, and to have little hope when there has been feelings of dispair and hopelessness. Barry is an excellent Psychologist I highly recommend him, when I went there I was totally broken after a series of horrible events in my life and I honestly had no hope to feel better. Barry is a kind, professional, and passionate person with a great desire to help which was something I needed. I don't like to go to sessions and sit there talk without receiving any feedback and he was what I was looking for. I am so grateful to him, Thank you Barry"
"I went a year ago and it's put me off finding help again for this entire time. I've seen a lot of professionals for my CPTSD, anxiety and depression. I barely got 2 minutes in before he started talking over the top of me and telling me I "just needed to stop thinking so much". He initiated a hypnosis-like session without my consent or warning, which I find very distressing. Told him I had been keeping a diary to process my trauma and he scolded me for it, despite it being a recommendation from several fantastic people I'd seen over the years. Reverse Psychology is definitely a fitting name. Everything I experienced in just one visit is completely backwards."
"Went a few years back, didn't get any benefit so I left. As others have said, wasted time showing me videos and got annoyed if you deviated him his prepared speal. (It was on topic) Spoke a lot about himself which in some cases isn't a bad thing but as I said before I didn't end up getting any benefit in the end."
"I went and saw Barry twice (mental health plan through government) and both times he spoke about himself and didnt ask me anything about myself really. He played a video for half my session. On my third visit i called to reschedule because i was sick and he told me if i wanted to come back that i would have to pay 125!!!!! I am not working and cannot afford that. This man is all about money"
"I saw Barry 5 years ago when I was 16, I was recommended when it came to light that I was suicidal with numerous plans. I barely spoke in our sessions, not due to anxiety but purely because I never had a chance. He never asked me anything. Never got to know me. He told me how to deal with my depression without knowing a single thing about what was going on or how my mind worked. 6 weeks in he said he didn't think I needed to come back. I've been to 3 other Psychologists and 2 psychiatrist since then and none were as hopeless as him."
