Thank u, love ur work😊

hey! i'm a 9th grade student in queensland, and i'm just wondering how difficult it is to become a psychologist? is it extremely difficult and something which would easily drain people out studying? also, i've always wondered how people manage with money throughout their years of studying in uni, so what do people usually do? do uni students find a part-time job to help sort of how a highschool student works afterschool + weekends? i really have no clue how university works, like if you go there every few days or if it's all weekdays. i understand i have a long way to go, but it's just so interesting! thank you so much

Hi Roanna :) I'm a second year psychology student and was wonder if it is possible to become a clinical psychologist via the post-graduate diploma option (the other option instead of honors if you don't get accepted into it? )

Hi Ro, This video is great. Do you have more info about Bridging program? the info on the Board's web is not clear.

Thanks so much!!

Hi Roanna, thank you so much for the video! I’m going to apply for a graduate diploma in Psychology and honors, and then master degree. Just a quick question! To get into master degree clinical psychology, does it matter what university you graduated from for honors? Does the name value of the university make a difference? Thank you :)

heyy was wondering can you apply directly just for the honours program ( one year ) when youve done a bachelor degree from another country ?

Thanks!

Hi Ro! Firstly, thank you for your informative videos. They really help demystify alot of the nitty gritty around taking up psychology as a profession. My question is around how you managed living expenses while studying full time. Alot of unis have disclaimers advising that even a part time job will be difficult if you want to perform well in the course (which we all know is a must if you want to get anywhere). Say someone wants to do a 2 year masters or a 3-4 year doctorate of clinical psychology. Do you have any resources that might help in the above context? Many thanks

Hi, I have finished my 3 years of bachelor's in psychology and 2 years of masters in clinical psychology from a ugc recognised university in India. But now I want to practice in Australia, can you brief me on how I shall go about it? I'm super confused!

Thanks for the video! So you do 3 years of undergrad, 4th year of honours, 2 years of Masters or 4 years Masters + Phd (during this time you can work in private practice) and then 60 hours of supervised practice? Do we have to undertake the 60 hours over two years specifically or is it just, 'finish 60 hours, and done'?

@thepsychdiaries

3 жыл бұрын

So its 352 hours of direct client contact (completed in a minimum of two years) + 80 hours supervision. The 60 hours I beleive is for masters/ PhD. To be honest the exact hour requiresments are a little tricky (there's literally a forum on fb where psychs discuss the breakdown of them) but yes for masters you need a min of 2 years after!

In America in order to be considered a “clinical psychologist” you must get a PhD or PsyD which can take a total of 8/9 years of school. I was wondering if you only did a masters program (2 years). In America i did my undergrad and going into my masters but in the USA but here I would be considered a licensed clinical professional counselor, we wouldn’t be considered a psychologist until we went to a phd/psyd program.
