Clinical social work is a recognised professional role within counselling and therapy that emphasises a collaborative approach, working with clients to address the issues they identify.

Clinical social workers apply evidence-based theories and methods for prevention, assessment, and intervention, with a particular focus on psychosocial and behavioural challenges.

Their practice is shaped by core social work principles, including promoting well-being within one's environment, advancing social justice and human rights, and using person-centred, strengths-based approaches to support individuals.
