Is Health Psychology for YOU?

Could YOU be the next trainee Health Psychologist?

Hi friends!

Welcome to DIPCLINIC! My name's Mike, and I'm an Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and trainee Doctor in Health Psychology.

In this video, we take a look at some of the most common questions I get as a trainee including 'What do Health Psychologists actually do?!'. Feel free to let me know your thoughts about Health Psychology and whether this relatively new field is going to have applications in the future!

Hope you enjoy!

I think health and psychology are very closely related with each other! If anyone think that he/she is not clearly well though he/she is fit then psychological disorder makes him/her sick day by day.

This is great! I'm intrigued by the comments you made around placement, is your private practice able to generate evidence as well as your Occ health placement?

I have an MSc in Clinical Psych from India and I am moving to the UK for an MSc in Health Psychology soon. I wish to know if I will have the option to seek job opportunities as an assistant clinical psychologist after my master's there. Also, it'd be really helpful if you could provide some insights or tips on seeking placement for Stage 2 health psychology training. Lastly, I am curious to know if PhD programs offer a stipend or any financial support?

So we need to complete a master's degree in Health Psy before completing a doctorate?

Hi, can an international student easily be able to get admitted for the stage 2 training in UK after masters ?

Actually I'm planning my master's in Health Psychology in the UK but i am very sceptical if my career will be smooth later on? Can you please guide about how the career shapes for an international student after masters?

Are there ample job opportunities for health psychologists out there in the UK at the moment?
