What is Psychology?
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists are interested in how the mind can dictate and influence our behaviour, from communication and memory to thought and emotion.
What do Psychologists do?
A common misconception is that Psychologists just get paid lots of money just to sit and listen to people moan about their problems, but Psychologists are those best placed to diagnose and treat mental health issues. They use scientific knowledge and theory to tailor support for each individual so believe or not, Psychology is a science.
Psychologists actually work in a wide number of professions and perform an enormous range of different duties. In traditional talking therapies, Psychologists are actively engaged in listening to the client, asking questions, providing advice, and helping clients develop solutions to put into daily practice.
Seeking psychological help is not without its stigma and there can be a reluctance form people to enquire about working with a Psychologist. Media portrayals would have us believe that they sit there with a notebook and pen and diagnose the doom and gloom. However, Psychologists aim to work towards enhancing mental wellbeing and supporting you to actively work through whatever issues you may be dealing with.

Anxiety UK recommends the apple technique in triggering situations:
APPLE
Acknowledge the uncertainty as it comes to mind.
Pause – Don’t react as you normally do. Don’t react at all. Just pause and breath.
Pull back – Tell yourself this is just the worry talking, and this apparent need for certainty is not helpful and not necessary. It is only a thought or feeling. Don’t believe everything you think. Thoughts are not statements or facts.
Let go – Let go of the thought or feeling. It will pass. You don’t have to respond to them. You might imagine them floating away in a bubble or cloud.
Explore – Explore the present moment, because right now, in this moment, all is well. Notice your breathing and the sensations of your breathing. Notice the ground beneath you. Look around and notice what you see, what you hear, what you can touch, what you can smell. Right now. Then shift your focus of attention to something else – on what you need to do, on what you were doing before you noticed the worry, or do something else – mindfully with your full attention.
