Seeing a psychiatrist/psychologist in the UK?

Question: I'm afraid I don't know what the difference is, but how would I go about finding one and would it be covered by the NHS?

Answers:
If i remember a pshchologist is more about the mind and a psychaiatrist is more about diagnosis and medication?

see through your doctor , the NHS can provide free services AFAIK but not sure about the age limit.
