A child psychologist in Singapore is a mental health professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating emotional, behavioral, and developmental issues in children and adolescents. Child psychologists typically have a masters or doctoral degree in psychology and are trained to provide assessment, therapy, and counseling to young people and their families.
In Singapore, child psychologists may work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, and private practices like Think Kids. They may work with children who have a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and trauma.
The role of a child psychologist in Singapore is to help children and their families understand their emotions, behaviors, and relationships, and to provide them with the tools and strategies they need to cope with and overcome their difficulties. They may use a variety of evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, and family therapy, to help children and their families achieve their goals.
In Singapore, only individuals who are registered with the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP) can legally use the title “psychologist,” including “child psychologist.” This means that only individuals who meet the qualifications and requirements set by the SRP can use this title.
To become a registered psychologist in Singapore, one must typically have a masters or doctoral degree in psychology or a related field, have completed a supervised internship, and have passed a qualifying examination. In addition, registered psychologists must adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct, and they must engage in ongoing professional development to maintain their registration.
Therefore, only individuals who have met these requirements and are registered with the SRP can legally call themselves a child psychologist in Singapore. It is important to note that the term “psychologist” is a protected title in Singapore, and individuals who are not registered with the SRP should not use this title or represent themselves as psychologists.
