In the US, anyone qualified may diagnose. This include medical doctors (psychiatrists included), psychologists, licensed clinical social workers and mental health counselors. Anyone who will be coding and billing for your treatment must be able to render a diagnosis in order for treatment to be approved.

These are the guidelines for the UK. I might add it took about .4 seconds to find it. Hope it helps and leads you to what you're looking for.
