People I know are doing it part-time and in the past it was possible to take the independent route (without enrolling at a university), and you wouldn't receive the title "dr" but still become a "counselling psychologist". I don't know whether it is still possible to do that.

I think late graduation due to major corrections is quite high, too. I am now doing my final placement in a Trust employing trainees from a variety of courses for their specialist placements. We have a dedicated trainee space and naturally we talk to each other in the office. We share how things are...

1) Must write thesis
2) Looking forward to going to home over holidays!

4) Love new placement and the people there!
5) Must write thesis

Advice on courses' orientations: If you're more CBT oriented, you might consider choosing RHUL and IOPPN If you're more social constructivism oriented, consider choosing Essex. I don't have information on Herts course. However, consider your application and previous academic ahchievements while choo...

I use the same approach I use for racists (especially working class disadvantaged people). The way they behave might be understandable, but that doesn't excuse their actions as other people come into harm's way because of it.

I would say Essex. I would say its ethos is similar to Salomons and uel. First-year CBT and psychodynamic teaching (at Tavi). Second-year systemic teaching and a little bit CBT and psychoanalytic (very little). Placement wise, it can be varied though. My first placement was purely CBT, but in my sec...

Essex offers AFT foundation level.

What I was wondering is when is the second book coming? The one that takes place during DClin training?

Really sorry if this has been asked before, but I wasn't able to find an answer myself. I've just obtained a research assistant position within the NHS working with individuals with depression. If I apply for the doctorate this year, I will have a full years experience by the time I would be starti...

that means I will not be able to do the course for another 3 years when I eventually get indefinite leave to remain. I don't understand this. Surely the day it becomes indefinite leave to remain you are eligible for the course? I think OP means "until" instead of "when". For the original question, ...

I recieved an email from DCP. The current position Clinical Psychology training courses have had confirmation of funding for 2018-19 with training numbers sustained. Full email: Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) Funding of non-medical Training January 2018 Update on the work of the DCP working gro...

I emailed BPS and asked for a pdf version, they emailed me. I uploaded it on CH and individual university application portals and never had any problems.

I know two people teaching in my course, both had their clinical doctorate degrees in a European country, then applied BPS for conversion. One of them said she did additional placements at Tavistock to get her degree recognized. They both had their degrees ratified at the end and work as clinical ps...

After very careful consideration...

SELF FUNDED
Leicester Leicester declined
Essex accepted
SELF FUNDED

So, self-funding list at Leicester must move one place at least. Good luck to everyone!

I can't answer for how much a Masters will help in terms of gaining an AP position as I've never been an AP, but there are lots of similar threads listed on the forum which might be helpful. In terms of gaining a place on the doctorate, it depends on a number of factors, including your undergrad ma...
