Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, what is the difference?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors specialised in psychiatry and focusing on mental health disorders.

Contrary to other mental health professionals (such as psychologists, psychotherapists, or mental health counsellors), psychiatrists can prescribe medication to treat the mental health disorders of their patients.

Despite their differences, the various mental health professions are not only compatible, but also often prove complementary.

Qualifications, credentials and professional experience

I qualify as a medical doctor and psychiatrist (University of Ghent, Belgium).

I am registered as a vocational consultant psychiatrist with the Medical Council of New Zealand, and I am an affiliate member of the Royal Australian and NZ College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP).

I have a 10-year experience in private and public practice in Europe (mainly in Belgium), followed by a 3-year experience in private practice in Mauritius. I was a consultant psychiatrist (SMO) with Mental Health Services of Counties Manukau DHB from February 2018 until December 2021.

I also hold a client-centred psychotherapy degree (University of Leuven, Belgium).

Referral Expectations
