Mental Health and Well Being.
Psychology is the study of the workings of the mind, and the resultant behaviours. It explores conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings, looking at the various factors and pressures from biological and / or social and environmental influences that cause mental health and behavioural issues. The practice of Psychology is about understanding, preventing and / or treating distress and dysfunction of the mind and promoting wellbeing and personal development.
Psychology covers a vast field of study and can be applied to several areas such as motivation, performance enhancement, mental health, ergonomics, learning disabilities, social interaction, developmental growth, physical disability, mental growth and development and many others.

Child Psychologists help children develop and grow in ways that are healthy and appropriate. Educational Psychologists are trained to help with learning disabilities as well as career guidance.
