If you are about to use any of these searches please read this important notice first.

From 1 July 2009 regulation of certain groups of practising psychologists has been taken over by the Health Professions Council (HPC). From that date there are seven specific legally protected titles (clinical psychologist, counselling psychologist, educational psychologist, health psychologist, forensic psychologist, occupational psychologist, and sport and exercise psychologist and two generic, umbrella title - practitioner psychologist and registered psychologist). It is a potential offence for any practising psychologist to use any of these titles unless they are registered with the Health Professions Council. You may wish to check the HPC Register, but please be aware that not all areas of psychological practice are covered by the HPC statutory register.

The Society's Directory of Chartered Psychologists will be developed and changed to reflect the new legal framework and we expect that the new version will be available to be consulted in January 2010.
