I found this podcast really beneficial and exciting. I have a question referencing supervision. I'm doing a diploma in therapeutic counselling through the CPCAB route for accreditation for BACP to gain experience in the mental health area. While doing an undergraduate Degree in Psychology that is BPS accredited. The supervision I receive from BACP-accredited supervisors does it count as supervision, and the personal counselling I receive will also be taken into account as an aid to my own mental health care plan.

Getting on to a PhD in clinical psychology in the UK is not so easy. Particularly if you are from an ethnic minority. UCL, Kings College London, Oxford, Cambridge any of the ivy league Universities will not be accepting you no matter how much you try. Better to have a bash at the less high brow university's might stand a chance with one of those. How many black PhD psychologists have you come across in the NHS very few in the whole of the UK. Only white middle class privileged get into the best universities in the UK. Sad state of affairs but true non the less. Systematic racism throughout UK society.

@@tillytogs Many minorities already knew it. However, people are easy to get into USA system through bachelor diploma and some master diploma allowed related majors to join into completed from master higher diploma.
This was really helpful, I have just submitted my application for the course for the second time. It's great to see you involve people in a similar situation to myself. I am from up north (north west) so I am not too sure whether the competitiveness of the course is greater down south?

Good luck! The number of applicants per place does vary across courses although there isnt a clear North-South difference, have a look at the data on the clearing house website www.leeds.ac.uk/chpccp/numbersplaces.html
