Psychologist Verification
MindGood: How to Check if Someone Is a Registered Psychologist
Before you book therapy, it is reasonable to check whether a psychologist is properly registered, licensed, or otherwise authorised for the country where they practise. MindGood helps clients compare verified profiles while also encouraging official register checks when needed.

Start with the official register, then compare fit
To check if someone is a registered psychologist, look for the regulator or public register in the country or emirate where they practise, search the person by name or licence number, confirm the professional title and scope of practice, and compare the details against the profile you are viewing. In Dubai, DHA's public medical registry is one verification route for DHA-licensed professionals. In India, clinical psychology credentials may involve the Rehabilitation Council of India. In the UK, protected psychologist titles are checked through the HCPC register. In Australia, AHPRA is the national register. Registration is an important trust step, but you should also compare language, specialization, session format, fees, and therapeutic fit.

What to verify before booking
Official register
Use the relevant regulator or public register rather than relying only on a website badge or profile claim.
Exact identity
Match name, licence number, title, location, and professional category where those details are available.
Scope of practice
Check whether the person is a psychologist, psychiatrist, counsellor, coach, assistant psychologist, or supervised practitioner.
Therapy fit
Registration does not automatically mean the therapist is right for your concern, language, budget, or schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Is a verified MindGood profile the same as official registration?
No. MindGood verification is a platform review process. Official registration or licensing should be checked through the relevant public regulator when that applies to the professional and location.
Which register should I check?
It depends on where the professional practises. Examples include DHA or other local health regulators in the UAE, RCI for relevant clinical psychology roles in India, HCPC for protected psychologist titles in the UK, AHPRA in Australia, and provincial or state boards in Canada and the United States.
What if I cannot find someone on a register?
Ask the professional or platform which licence, registration, supervised role, or jurisdiction applies. If the answer is unclear, choose another provider or seek advice from the relevant regulator.
