Very briefly a physiotherapist is a healthcare professional concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential.

Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of health settings such as intensive care, mental illness, stroke recovery, occupational health, and care of the elderly.

A psychologist is a licensed mental health professional (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) who specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders.

A psychologist focuses on whats going on inside, like your brain and whatnot. And a physiotherapist focuses more on physical problems.
