You seem to be asking a lot of questions, without trying to see what is already on the forum. There is an article in the first issue of Aspire about group tasks.

Soliciting or providing questions or answers for interviews is against our rules and undermines the fair selection process.

What good looks like in psychological services for children, young people and their families was a recent BPS publication that is available free from the BPS shop with lots of information about the delivery of children's psychological services. I know because I was lead author for chapter 9 on chil...

You need to tell people what you can offer them and their service, not what you want to get from them!

I think the average psychology undergraduate course is pretty poor at providing any employable skills, even for people who do it as their undergraduate degree. An MSc with a good research weighting, and ideally a placement might be somewhat better. Find a way to publish a paper, and then you've adde...

I don't think it is designed as a parallel pathway to clinical psychology. I think it is designed as another lower level cheaper alternative that might be able to take on some of the workload and let the qualified CPs focus on the most complex cases and the indirect roles. So as I understand it they...

Bear in mind that online therapy you are competing with counsellors and therapists with much lower qualifications, so the expectations of cost per session from consumers are much lower, and they may not see the advantage of using a CP if the price is higher than the competition. CP training really i...

The BPS has regular events, and they are heavily subsidised for members, but not promoted that widely outside of the membership (though you can find them on the website). The ACP has a launch conference coming up. Then there are interest groups related to the population you work with. For example AC...

Given you were prepared to consider doing a master's degree on the other thread, which presumably costs thousands of pounds, I wonder why you are unwilling to spend some of that same money on therapy if that is the barrier to professional development?

I don't think it would add much, but it might cost you a year and quite a lot of money! If you are getting interviews then you need to address what you can do better in the interview, rather than going back to look at what might land you interviews. Looking at your other thread, you know the barrier...

Hello, Yes I am aware of that and have been through CBT when I was a lot younger and it really didnt work for me- partly due to the nature of the therapy session. I am planning to do some of these things myself, having the previous experience and knowledge of CBT it hopefully will help. And I am go...

I can see that it is now 18 months on from your original question. Is clinical psychology still your goal? If so, it might be helpful to know what experience you have gained since posting. I think you'd need to pick very carefully if you want to apply for clinical training, as even with an MSc many ...

There is one thread for clinical application progress, so this thread is being locked unless anyone else wants to post about fee status, and the posts about interviews/progress have been moved to the progress thread.
