English term or phrase: Clinical psychologist
I have used the term,

ماہر نفسیات
To my knowledge and research, in urdu, this term would be used for a psychiatrist as well as a psychologist. Also, I'm not aware of a dinstinction in Urdu for a "clinical psychologist", v.s. say a "research psychologist."

Does anyone know if the term "clinical psychologist" can be translated better?

Thank you.

Thank you. I think معالج is a good term to combine "clinical" and "expert."

Explanation:
Most of the above translations are correct but none is being used practically in the society rather its transliteration is much common amongst the concerned circles. If the word is psychologist alone then its translation is much common but clinical psychologist is comparatively new term, so its translation is not that common yet.
