Registered Health Psychologist (GZ)

Also known as: Health Care Psychologist · Registered Clinical Psychologist

Makes diagnoses based on psychological assessment, develops treatment plans and treats clients with psychological complaints within her own register.

The registered health psychologist is registered under the BIG act and may independently diagnose and treat. That registration is often seen in recruitment as sufficient proof of suitability. The difference between a good diagnostician and a good therapist, however, can be large in practice and is rarely tested separately.
