From Psychology Grad to DClinPsy: Aspiring Clinical Psych Supports Your Journey

Progressing from psychology graduate to DClinPsy can leave many aspiring clinical psychologists feeling burnt out, invalidated and unsupported. Aspiring Clinical Psych is here to help you.

How can Aspiring Clinical Psych help you?

You finished school, got the grades you needed to study psychology at university, graduated from your psychology degree and then…

Obstacles

Aspiring Clinical Psych supports you through several obstacles on the journey to the DClinPsy including:

Obstacle 1: Competition

One of the biggest obstacles! With many excellent candidates vying for a limited number of relevant experience roles or places on the doctorate, it can be difficult for those with less experience to get in on the action.

However, we have a wide range of resources specifically designed to help you reflect on your experience and maximise your potential during the selection process.

Obstacle 2: Language barrier

With so many concepts to learn, speaking “psychology” can be so… complicated! Figuring out what they all mean and how they’ll all be applied to practice can be challenging. Our programmes and services are engaging and detailed to support your learning and memory retention.

Obstacle 3: Loneliness

Opportunities to discuss concepts, or, how it feels to pursue a career in clinical psychology are… few. Our group-based events, moderated community forums and one-to-one sessions with experienced psychologists will leave you feeling held and understood.

Obstacle 4: Emotional overwhelm

Working with individuals who are struggling with their mental health can be very demanding. Often, it feels like there aren’t enough safe spaces to reflect. We promote reflection through several channels such as reflective worksheets, monthly group Reflective Workshops and one-to-one sessions.

Obstacle 5: Time

Advancing your career as an aspiring clinical psychologist can take years of dedication. For some, staying on track to becoming a clinical psychologist can feel like putting your life on hold.

However, through our programs and sevices, you can feel confident you are on the fastest, most direct track towards the clinical psychology doctorate.

How Aspiring Clinical Psych can help you.

Success Testimonials

Juliet Hammond
Juliet Hammond
"The structure! The information (definition, ladder of participation, interactive participation, reflection) helped to check understanding in a way that consolidated learning and helped grow my understanding without feeling like I would need to return multiple times to the recording. The session alone was helpful in my learning; I gained insights about past work and ideas of how to move my use of coproduction forward. Though, I likely will return to the recording because it was brilliant!"

"This is helping me immensely and I have lots of work to do before refining and submitting. I also found the report very helpful as it gave me an overview of how I might be coming across and the importance of building a narrative."
