i'm 16 and i graduate in 2023 and i always thought i was going to complete my doctorate in clinical psychology but yesterday i researched and found out about counselling psychology and i was over the moon as this is what i actually want to do. i'm really excited to watch this video and learn more about the difference 🥰

it's crazy bc I was definitely set on clinical psych up until the middle of my undergrad, but then I started realising that counselling psych is more in line with what i want to do. thank you for this video 💖

Hi just wanted to know can you follow more than one career path in psychology because I want to do both clinical and neuropsychology

What is the difference between ASCHP and HPCSA? I'm a bit confused about my degree. I thought I did enough research about my degree. It seems that i cannot become a psychologist in the future due to me doing a Ba degree in Psychology. I think I should have went the Bsc route. What do you think?

Thank you for continously sharing useful information on your channel ✨❤️ I wanted to ask for Honours are the specific electives that you need to take if you want to go the counseling psychologist route? And does your Honours thesis topic shape your Masters research topic ?

I'm curious though, do you know if one can go and do their masters abroad and then come back and practice in south africa?

From what I’ve researched, it is possible but it depends on quite a few factors. You apply to convert your license through the HPCSA & they work on a case-by-case basis - it depends on factors such as how you were trained (practical & theoretical), work experience etc etc. 😅 It would honestly be best to contact them directly and find out exactly what the requirements are 🙏

Can Counseling Psychologists diagnose mental disorders?

@LaurenUnalomeWellnessCo

According to the South African "HEALTH PROFESSIONS ACT, 1974 (ACT NO.56 OF 1974) - REGULATIONS DEFINING THE SCOPE OF THE PROFESSION OF PSYCHOLOGY" (Available here: www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201809/41900bn101.pdf), counselling psychologists can partake in "psychological assessment, *diagnosis*, and case formulation"!

I always knew "clinical" isnt my cup of tea. I don't want work in hospitals or clinics🤣

I believe that Clinical Psychology is superior to counseling Psychology. Based on the type of work they do and the remuneration they get during their internship year and going forward. I’m a qualified psychologist by the way.

Psychologists who work in the public sector are renumerated according to Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD). Interestingly OSD lumps all psychologists into one category without reference to whether they are counselling/ clinical/ educational etc. So a counselling psychologist working for Dept of Labour or Correctional Services will get remunerated on the same pay scale as a clinical psychologist working in a hospital - or an educational psychologist working for DoE
