Course Overview

This qualification allows you to work in clinical settings, including the NHS, health and social care, community services, organizational, forensic, and third-sector settings. Most of our students secure jobs before, or as soon as, they complete their doctoral training. The course allows you to apply for paid work as a trainee counseling psychologist as you continue to work towards full Chartered Counselling Psychologist status and registration with the HCPC. You will be eligible to apply for registration with the HCPC and for chartered status with the BPS once you have fulfilled all the requirements of the Doctorate. Our dedicated academic team has many years of experience working within the NHS and the third sector. All contribute to the research which has earned UELs School of Psychology such a high reputation in recent years and, crucially, all are actively working in clinical settings.
