Are you from the Philippines?

you were really helpful, thanks a ton

I love that you call your mum 'Mumma B' as well, I do this! This video made me so happy when you got accepted eeeeek!

Could you share with us tips how your CV should look like, please? Ideally it would be to see your CV

I completed msc in applied psychology from kk in59%can I study Psy D in uk.Iam from in india

What if you have a Masters in Clinical Psychology? Isn’t that enough to work as clinical psychologist in the UK?

If one had an interest in space medicine and mental health what might be the area of psychology in the uk might need to look at I keep seeing 'operational psychology' but not sure that is a catagory to specialise in does that mean anything to you can you clear up for me thanks

great so if I want to turn my bachelors hons degree in integrative counselling into a psychology career my next steps are, psychology conversion masters which will be like if my bachelors was in psychology all along. I guess the overlap will help vs if it was a completly different degree as they train us on the founders of various therapies and alot of them were psychologists etc. But after conversion degree then its straight to dclinpsy if going that route? just so i've understood correctly. My original bachelors is a 2:1 so does that mean skip masters or does it have to be the conversion that needs to be 2:1 etc not sure my question makes much sense out loud. Think i might be following you on instagram your day in the life of videos really kool :)

the psychological level of cringe is legendary :D

Thank you so much! I'm currently pursuing my undergrad in India, and would love to work in the UK, and was very much hyperventilating thinking about what to do. You helped me so much!

Hello, here in Belgium, you do a 3y Bachelors in Psychology & then a 2y Masters to become a clinical psychologist and get a license. But in the UK, you have to do a DClinPsy to be able to work as a clinical psychologist if I understood correctly. So this means, after I get approved my degree by the BPS in the UK, I have to pass the IELTS, apply for DClinPsy & complete the course to be able to finally work as a clinical psychologist in the UK. How long is the DClinPsy course ?

can you do dclinpsy after doing msc health psychology (BPS accrediited)

This is such a helpful video. I have recently started applying to these roles and have been making these exact same mistakes. Stressing out trying to cover all of the essential criteria within a concise word count. It has definitely made mine disjointed too. So happy to hear you discuss this!

thank you so much for this video, doing god's work

Do I need to submit a research proposal for the admission procedure ?

And now ur a trainee clinical psychologist. You are inspirational

Sharon! I'm a fellow trainee clinical psychologist too, and let me tell you, because of some 'failures' I ended up going for my doctorate in my 30s which I did not intend to do! So everything happens for a reason, maybe it's a hidden message for your younger self who was not a professional back then and testing the waters, so look how far you have come!? For me I thought I could not afford a career break, when actually something bad happened to make me go on one, and in hindsight it will all work out. So make the most of your learning journey and not focus on the destination.

Links for the books are not working.

Would a psychology degree be transferable overseas?

Aww this was lovely. I’m mentally prepping myself to start in October and this was just what I was looking for!

the most boring subject of all time. Literally a waste of money

How do I get BPS accreditation or approval ?

How much do u earn

Hey Sharon, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the time and effort you’ve put into all of your videos - you’ve helped SO many countless people, including me! I’ve watched all of your videos, and somehow ended up with an offer for a DClinPsy place on my first go applying - your videos have been a crucial part of my journey. Like you I only had one interview and wasn’t expecting it!! On a separate note, I don’t know if you know how important and valuable it is to see Asian (and mixed heritage) representation in the field - it makes me feel like maybe I do belong here. THANK YOU!!

I worked as a support worker and then as assistant psychologist and after that now I have been working as a forensic mental health practioner is this enough?

Can I please ask what is the research critique acronym ? Thanks!

Also keeping in mind that the way uni needs us to present as a psychologist, is very different to how you present wiht an actual client. Please know this doesn't make you a bad psych.

💚

I am a Clinical Associate Psychologist and this video does have considerable inaccuracies in it. I feel it's important to correct this as the CAP course is growing and it's imperative correct information is provided to future psychologists so they can accurately and appropriately make a decision on which course to apply for in their best interests. - We train for 18 months NOT 1 year. 12 months you will work 3 days a week with 2 days studying. The final 6 months you move to working 4 days a week with 1 studying. - We do NOT have to stay in the same service post qualification. We apply for any post just like any other role so we are not confined to our placement. Some trusts allow you to interview for the placement you like, others will assign you one whilst training. - Depending on your course will depend how many placements you have. Currently I have split placements which enables a greater depth of learning and experience. - We are very different to Assistant Psychologists and are qualified to provide supervision to APs. Although we are still supervised by a Clinical Psychologist we work independently within our teams. - The CAP career path is still being developed but is a profession in it's own right. Although some CAPS train and qualify to move to the D Clin this is not the intention of the CAP course, however is still an option. *Please note the courses vary slightly in structure. I train at Bath University and I am aware Plymouth runs differently regarding teaching. If you are interested please check directly with the course*

can I work part time with my d. clinical psychology?

Hi Sharon, I wanted to ask as an undergraduate psychology student, does a placement year count as a year of experience, increasing chances of applying for Doctors? Also would it be possible to apply directly after undergraduate degree?

thank you for this video. I'm aiming to apply for this course in 2026 but did not want to change job roles. My role currently entails supervision as I work with individuals who have complex needs and I think this will work well for my application.Such useful information ❤

I have an interview and very overwhelmed in getting things right

Hi I'm currently pursuing my masters in clinical psychology in India and want to further do my Dclin psy from the UK . So how do I know whether my masters degree is BPS accredited or not ?

Hi Sharon, I'm wondering if good Universities would be understanding of me coming out with a 2:2 in my undergraduate in Philosophy years ago when I was literally unaware I had Autism and possible ADHD until years later working as a Business Systems Analyst in Local Government. I was first going to apply to a conversion course on this basis at Cardiff despite them stating I need a 2:1 as I've done 4+ years of psychotherapy (Psychodynamic/Person centred) and feel that these are pretty unique circumstances. Do you think I could make this happen for me?

I have a question if I can Start applying for psychology courses if I have business foundation year? And English is not my first language.

Hi, thanks for uploading! I'm a second year psychology student and I've just applied for a student psychologist placement in the NHS. Hopefully I get it!

Hello Iam a student who just completed my 12 th grade I want to do my undergraduation since I am confused because I want to be a clinical psychologist . so as my undergraduate course I prefer bachelors in psychology with clinical psychology . So is it okay to do my degree in it or did I have to take bsc psychology which one will you prefer . could please reply.

What about school psychology

Hi Sharon. Thanks for the amazing video. I'm looking at Psychology for my future career and I'm unsure about what Alevels are recommended?

I finished my Bachelor's in psychology and want to apply for a Master's in clinical psychology in the UK. Can you share information about universities that offer this program, considering my GPA is 2.91?Im an international student

It sounds like a long process , I wondered about being a psychologist but being 64 already I might not bother. Impressed with you though Very wise.

Thank you Sharon this video has been so helpful! Going to re-write my supporting statement again :D

Please make a video for master's degree as international student

Really helpful thanks Its great to he part of a multidisciplinary team in treating a patient. As a psychotherapist I miss that connection and teamwork. I work solo, but see a supervisor every teo weeks.

Hey Sharon, does it mean international students with undergraduate degree from outside UK won't get any NHS fund?

Thank you so much for all of this information. Currently I'm on a gap year after a levels, but this reassures me that psychology is for me

My study background is a bachelor's in Computer science and now I am studying a master's in cognitive science with a specialization in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. I took some technical classes too but I enjoyed these two majors so much and in the future, I want to work as a clinical psychologist. My next plan is to do PhD as well from any German university. But every time I discuss this with any senior I get the same reply that I cannot be a clinical psychologist. Would you guide me on what should i do or any other field I should search about if I can't be a clinical psychologist.?I just want a bright future i struggled a lot in finding my interest. And now I need help from seniors.

Main 3 things to past. 1)articulation of English 2) experience 3) confidence.

I'm a mature student. I watched your video about 18 months ago when I was first thinking about doing my psychology conversion (due to qualify in summer 24). Just wanted to say even as a mature student I have found your videos super helpful. Especially the one you did on Leeds Clearing House - I would never have guessed psychology would have been so different from my original profession (nursing) in terms of how the courses are structured and how you go about making sure you have the best possible chance.
