Me trying to explain the route to a career in Clinical Psychology to my family, is like me speaking another language.

It's so nice to see people get onto the Doctorate, congrats! But please remember absolutely everything about the application process, because I will be in your dms asking for tips in the next year or so 😂

I loved my uni and my degree, however almost everything that I had learnt about postgraduate life (e.g. postgraduate courses, DClinPsy, Psychology careers and routes) was from LinkedIn, Psychology Youtube and Twitter Psych community.

Got a doctorate offer 🙌🏽 & one of the first things I was relieved about was the fact that I don't have to continue doing my yearly "Hey, it's me again..." to my undergrad referee 🙃

So essentially now, if you have received HEE funding (e.g. as a trainee PWP) but haven't completed TWO years of practice after date of qualification, you can't apply to the DClinPsy (NHS funded route) yet. How can they suddenly say that, no warning or anything?

"But why can't you apply for the Doctorate this year?" they said after I told them for the 100th time that I don't have enough clinical experience yet 🙄

Work update. So I've been in my AP for 3/4 months now and can now say that I now feel confident in what I'm doing and the nerves and anxiety have subsided. I've learnt quite a bit already, (really want to share with you all!!) and my skills have skyrocketed 🥳

Honestly, I'm quite early in my psychology journey and already burnt out. Both my AP and CWP roles have been valuable but I'm shattered. If this is what I feel like now then wow, what's the future going to look like? 😅

Last year I applied, I got 4 no's and it felt so bad. But the worst bit was how it made me look at my achievements, qualifications and experiences in a lesser light. Whatever outcome this DClinPsy season brings me, I will never allow myself to do that again 🙅🏽♀️

I find Psychology related PgDips/Certs such as CWP, PWP, EHMP very useful and great. No debt, you get trained, gain clinical experience in the NHS, get paid and will have a qualification and it allows for career progression 🤩

Sometimes I get wrapped up in Clinical Psychology and its doctorate. But I'm really intrigued by Psychotherapy but I'm not quite clear on the route - can anyone help me out? Is it degree --> (essential??) postgraduate qualification --> training/doctorate??

Decided to accept my Master's offer. After weeks of bitching about Master's and their fees😂😂, I've realised that my desire to do that course and study that area of Psychology further, outweighs it.

Hmm, I've got a love-hate relationship with this account. Yes, I'm happy I made the account for knowledge, support/networking etc. But the comparisons I make and the anxiety I get from seeing certain posts, yikes.

If HEE are to answer questions (which they need to do), they need to do it NOW! Do you know how ridiculous (alongside many other ridiculous things) it is to do this during application season? So much uncertainty, playing with people's careers and lives is not to be taken lightly.

I deliver interventions stemming from the cognitive-behavioural framework but find myself always thinking psychoanalytically and systemically about most cases. Sometimes, I find adopting a CBT approach so difficult.

My interest and love for Psychology cannot be disputed, however it honestly drains me and can stir up a lot of uneasy emotions. This is mostly going to be a ramble, so bare with me 😅(1/n)...

Truthfully, sometimes I do like when CYP in sessions question the intervention/the theory. Can be very insightful and it does make me question and really evaluate psychological theory too.

Unfortunately the Clinical Psychologist at work that I sent my application draft to, two weeks ago hasn't looked at it and is now off sick ☹️ So, would any trainee and/or clinical psychologists be able to take a look, please? Thanks in advance 😊

The power dynamic between "senior" clinicians and those with less experience is becoming much more apparent to me. As someone who falls into the "less experienced" category, I am growing more and more frustrated with the level of communication and how things are communicated.

Drafting questions for the DClinPsy has surprisingly been such a positive experience for me. I have reflected personally as well as professionally. Writing things down makes me realise that I have learned a lot over the past year & has really shown me why I want this profession.

I've been thinking a lot about my late dad & reflecting. I'm angry, looking back on all those barriers and battles he had to fight as a disabled person. For one, the PIP paperwork is so overwhelming, invasive and for them just to disappoint you. It was horrible to see the impact.

There's SO much hard & amazing work done by CWP/PWPs, APs, support workers, etc, that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. The hierarchies and power dynamics are so apparent in the psychology profession. Ridiculous. (3/3)

Some NHS AP adverts say "Applicants must have current UK professional registration". Can someone clarify what they mean? I'm 99% certain they're not expecting an AP to be an already qualified Psychologist (HCPC registered), so just means you must be a member of the BPS, right?

Becoming more immersed in the psychological field has opened my eyes so much and I have become so aware of the improvements and changes that need to happen within this field. I am also seeing much more "corporate" aspects rather than a person-centred aspect
