I'm 12, I have a DREAM to be clinical psychology! I've started doing TONS of research already and spend about 2+ hrs a day studying psychology! its SUCH an addicting/Interesting subject

[@olakolade6656]

when I was 11, I always wanted to be a psychologist. Now i’m 15 and I think I want to be more specifically a clinical psychologist . I’ve always been interested in mental disorders and the way the brain works fascinated me! I want to be able to help people.

Thank you for this video! I've just been accepted onto an MSc Psychology Conversion course after doing an undergrad in Ancient History. Bit of a career change but really excited.

That’s incredible - my history knowledge is appalling ! Best of luck with the change and welcome to psychology :)

[@tamimhusain3376]

After that MSc , is it 3 more years to become a psychologist?

[@samwell4135]

Hi, I'm the same. I have just been accepted into the same course, I have an undergrad in Social Policy. ^ I think we have to get the conversion course and then if we wish to be a Clinical Psychologist, then we need to try and get accepted to the Doctorate. This means we will need to get clinical experience after the Masters. This video is so helpful.

[@nehahahahahahah]

Is that possible?

[@miracudrag]

The difference between healthcare assistant and support worker should, in theory, be that healthcare assistants work with less able people who often need personal care and high level of care input (medications given, taken to places, shopping and cooking done for the patient) and the support workers work with people that are more able; they have more of a supervisory role focused on empowering and guidance and less on personal care or manual handling ( so they would remind the patient about their medication, they will accompany someone out, and help them shop and cook for themselves). The elderly tend to get healthcare assistants, people with learning disabilities tend to get support. The lines between them are not definite though - you do empower the elderly too, and some people with learning disabilities need both care and support. In real life, the demarcation can't be mentained.

HCA is more hands on care, usually following care plans. Support workers are genuinely more about promoting independence to service users and following their support plans. I've done both.

Hey Aika, I wanna do Counselling Psychology instead and I'm the 2020 graduation cohort. Do you know what the differences are? One thing that I find frustrating is that Unis require a certificate in counselling skills which has to be self funded, other than the 2:1, BPS registration, and work experience. What do you know about this? I do want to do Counselling Psy but all this self funding is crazy! I'm fine applying for a student loan for the Doctorate but the Certificate just has to be paid from my pocket and my pocket is empty for now, since the pandemic. If you don't know this yourself, perhaps you could do a collab with someone who's done it, I'm sure you know people, right? Much love to you.

[@TheOxfordPsych]

Yes, it’s such a shame and bizarre thing that counselling psych is fully self-funded! It makes it very expensive and only accessible to few. Yes I do know a few counselling psych trainees from meeting them on my Instagram - I do know some differences myself but will try drag a counselling psych into a video for an interview series hopefully!

[@TheOxfordPsych]

International places are self-funded rather than NHS-funded, meaning that you will have to pay tuition fees as normal over the 3 years (and living costs, travel expenses etc). It is around £20000 per year but this varies! The number of self-funded places are smaller than NHS-funded spots, but I've heard it is equally competitive! Hope this helps

Hey! It’s a hard one - I’d say personally I would get clinical experience if you feel like you’re gonna get a high 2:1. However, masters these days CAN be the foot in the door for placements. It really depends on what you want to get out of the masters - don’t do it just for the sake of it (like I did and regretted it) !
