Not all clinical psychologists are the same.
To practice as a clinical psychologist in Malaysia will require at least a 2-year accredited master degree in clinical psychology. However, that is merely the minimum requirement. How well a clinical psychologist can perform and what can the person offer can’t be determined by the possession of a master’s degree alone.
Similarly, having 10 years of experience does not necessarily mean the person is an expert. Domain expertise and specialty require dedicated effort to accumulate and cultivate. At Psycle CAT, we aim to develop expert-level mental health practitioners to serve specific areas in the field of mental health. We don’t just see clients, we develop the field.
Members of Psycle CAT have to identify an area that they are willing to dedicate their life to advance. We are not claiming to be an expert. Rather, we are declaring our unwavering devotion to grow the field throughout our career, hopefully to be recognized as an expert one day. After all, an expert’s status has to be endorsed, not self-proclaimed.

并非所有的临床心理学家都是一样的。
要在马来西亚担任临床心理学家，至少需要获得两年认可的临床心理学硕士学位。然而，这只是最低要求。临床心理学家的能力以及他们能够提供的服务并不能仅仅由拥有硕士学位来决定。
同样，拥有10年的经验并不一定意味着这个人就是专家。专业领域的知识和特长需要潜心努力的积累和培养。在和旋心理咨商与培训中心，我们的目标是培养专家级的心理健康从业者，为特定的心理健康领域提供服务。我们的任务不仅是接见个案，我们还要开发这个领域。
和旋心理咨商与培训中心的成员必须确认一个他们愿意奉献一生去推进的领域。我们并不自称是专家。相反，我们只是在宣称我们会在整个职业生涯中致力于发展这一领域，希望有一天能够被公认为专家。毕竟，专家的地位是需要别人认可的，而不是自封的。
