Honestly thank god for this channel lol I’ll be studying psychology in September and I have felt so uneasy about it as people keep making snarky comments about “oh but is that actually an employable degree?” “Would it not be better to do law?” Etc and it’s making me second guess whether I’ve made the right decision but these videos show that it is possible to become a psychologist. The route is hard and requires a lot of experience and drive but it’s possible. Thank you!!

Thank God for you supporting the channel!! hahah I hate all those comments. You do you do and focus on what you enjoy. Yes it may be difficult, but it's 10000% worth it and definitely possible.

Thank you very much for this video, I had a question while watching this video, is the supervision course included in the university program or not? Does that mean you don't pay extra money to the supervisor? Because in my country, the supervision course is not part of the university program and we have to pay extra money and get a supervisor after finishing our studies, which means that in my country, apart from the university tuition, we have to pay for the supervisor as well. I wanted to know Is your country the same?

Hi! I don't know if this is helpful but I'm a 3rd year psychology undergrad that's currently on placement right now, and it's enabled me to learn so much about what it's like being an assistant psychologist, what the clinical psychologists do and what skills are needed. It's also allowed me to meet some really amazing people in the field and talk to them about how they got to where they are. I'm not as familiar with the DClinPsy as Sharon but I would 100% recommend a placement year if you can get one in a relevant field, even if it just helps you to figure out what you do/don't want to do in the future :)

You do get paid yes, around £30,000 a year whilst doing the doctorate when on placement. I’m not aware if the same applies for those who are not a home student (a resident of the UK). If you are a home student, the doctorate is NHS-funded so that means no student loans:)
