Hi, super helpful video! Quick question: for the fields where you did not specify a masters, for example, to become an educational psychologist, is a masters required?

@aps-pictures9335 3 ай бұрын

In my psychology degree they told us the exact same thing - don’t bother trying for clinical psych 😅 Also glad to know I CAN call myself a psychologist, as it’s been so hard finding if it’s a protected title. Currently starting my MSc Counselling so is a nice extra.

Hey, thank you, Holly. this video was so insightful and educative. please, is there anything like a clinical neuropsychologist in the UK, just curious since you didn't mention it? thanks

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 5 ай бұрын

Hiya - thanks for your comment and for watching :) Yes there is. To be a clinical neuropsychologist, you have to do the DClin to be a clinical psychologist (or another doctorate to be a chartered psychologist) and then a two year additional qualification in Neuro (QiCN) - some Trusts will fund you doing this and some won't. Also, some DClin courses offer the first year of the QiCN included :) Here's some info: www.bps.org.uk/qualification-clinical-neuropsychology

Hello Holly, I'm glad I came across your post. I wanted to share my concern about finding an equivalent degree in Psychology. I hold an undergraduate degree with majors in three subjects, one of which is Psychology. The subjects include general psychology 1 and 2, health psychology, social psychology, and child psychology from India. However, my degree is not being accepted because I need BPS recognition. They are suggesting that I would have to do a conversion course, which would mean redoing what I have already studied. It's really unclear to me whether I should proceed with doing a conversion and then pursue a master's degree in the UK. Would be glad to hear your thoughts on this or should pursue in other countries? Thank you.

Hey Amy - I’m sorry it’s so difficult. A Master’s conversion is the only way to go on to be a registered practitioner psychologist in the UK currently. I don’t know much about how it works in other countries but I know many countries do not require doctorate level qualifications. I think India is included in that :)

Great video and very informative thank you so much!! If you trained as a counselling / psychotherapist and did that role for a number of years, can you change to work as a clinical psychologist? Do people do that?

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Yes absolutely, you would need to do the doctorate though to practice as a clinical psychologist :)

@k99876 8 ай бұрын

Amazing vid! I would like to know what the difference in scope of practice between health, counselling, and clinical psychology would be? Can they all provide psychotherapy?

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment! So Clinical and Counselling psychologists are trained in therapeutic approaches. Health psychologists can train in therapy but usually focus on research and public health!

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?

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 6 ай бұрын

Hiya, thanks for the comment! Yes so supervision is part of the course and job role. If you work in private practice here after qualifying, you are responsible for paying for your own supervision, but if you're employed in the NHS, it forms part of the job :)

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 6 ай бұрын

However, there may be instances where you do have to pay like if you are training in specific therapy models as a therapist rather than a psychologist :)

It’s wild to me how we have so few psychologists and so so much waiting list in this country yet, so many people apply are they giving up? Are they not qualifying?

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 15 күн бұрын

Many psychologists work privately post-qualification - sometimes immediately and sometimes after a number of years in the NHS :/

Thanks for your comment. I would advise contacting the BPS and finding out what the process is because it will be different for different courses and countries. Hopefully this web page helps: www.bps.org.uk/faqs/does-society-accredit-international-degrees

Hi I'm from Pakistan now in UK Manchester. I continue Master's Degree from BPP University in Project Management. Recently I completed a Masters in Clinical psychology in Pakistan from University of Peshawar and also one year Post Magesterial Diploma in Clinical psychology for one year. Can I work as a psychologist in UK?

You would need to liaise with HCPC in the UK as they can assess your previous degrees :)

How we get the membership of BPS for overseas..? Does it is competitive for overseas.?

@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK 7 ай бұрын

Here's the BPS page on being an international member - www.bps.org.uk/bps-international-membership. Anybody can be a member of the BPS, even if they aren't a psychologist. That form of membership is like a club or society that anyone with an interest in psychology can join. To work as a practitioner psychologist in the UK, you need to be chartered/registered with the HCPC. Hope that helps!

@@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK thans alot for giving useful information. Also please tell me will it be beneficial to get membership of BPS for foreigners ? Does it will be helpful to get scholarships for higher studies in European countries.? Or to get scholarships for higher studies there are other criteria which they consider rather than BPS membership.?
