How about making a start on a doctorate in counselling psychology instead?

when do we hear back about the stage 2 interviews/

I have noticed that the NICE guidelines sometimes mention something called 'supportive therapy'. What is this? I spotted it in the social anxiety disorder guidelines where it says; 'Do not routinely offer mindfulness-based interventions or supportive therapy to treat social anxiety disorder.' Can an...

Even though I completely understand the need for close supervision, it can feel a little frustrating to be signing off formal letters to colleagues with "under the supervision of...". I feel this particularly when compared to professions where only the three-year undergraduate is required to lift t...

Thanks so much for your replies. I will request to see the references and see what seems to be the problem. Sorry that this happened to you too Heg124, I hope you got some interviews elsewhere. The content of references is so arbitrary to the referees character so it seems mean to reject people on ...

Thanks so much for your replies.

I will request to see the references and see what seems to be the problem.

I think Edinburgh must have looked a my reference out of context, I mean without looking at my other qualifications, and rejected me because I am ranked low in the cohort of my CBT masters.

Hello, I just discovered I didn't get an interview from Edinburgh because of my references. They said: "Your References did not meet our essential minimum criteria" :shock: I emailed the course asking which and how. (Though I don't expect a response.) I also emailed my referees and hope I can find o...

Thanks for everyone's responses. But... I am still uncertain about if I meet the criteria needed to apply for the DClin in Ireland. Galway responded to my query and said: An honours Degree in Psychology (or Postgraduate Higher Diploma in Psychology) of at least Upper Second-Class Honours (2H1) level...

I have a conversion msc course and a combined honours undergraduate. So g b c but no undergrad in psychology. Still no response from the psi :( I have also been unable to contact them on the phone. I guess I should pay the 260 euros and apply to the psi. It would probably take so long for them to de...

I have asked them, hopefully they will respond soon.

I am planning to apply for the DClinPsy in Ireland.... Well really I made a start then discovered it is much more involved and complicated than I had assumed :oops: I am not sure if I meet eligibility criteria for membership the Psychological Society of Ireland. I have GBC, is this enough? If so, wh...

I am personally not convinced that psychology doctorate courses mind where you studied. If you fancy an MSc just go to whichever course sounds more fun (or is cheaper). Also, choose an assessment method that suits you e.g. exams vs coursework. Think about how relevant the course is too, can you do y...

I don't think pwp need be a cul de sac. Most of the pwps I worked with got onto another training e.g. high intensity after 3 years. I only did the training then did clinical associate in applied psychology in Scotland straight after. I think it was a great way to gain experience and would have given...

I don't think there is a level that you can enter the NHS at (in psychology) that is consummate with your previous experience as a university teacher. Please other users correct me as this is just my impression and I am not a qualified CP! Without GBC (the conversion course) you would be looking at ...

I have often thought that the best route into psychology would be via an undergraduate in mental health nursing or occupational therapy. I imagine your nursing experience will put you at the top of the pile! I felt as a psychology graduate that I spent a lot of time doing HCA work in my early 20s wh...
