About this course in Australia

This course is designed for clinical and counselling psychologists trained in South Africa who are planning to work in the UK, so it may interest South African-trained practitioners currently in Australia who are weighing up that move. It compares practice in the two countries and covers the basics of getting started, including registration with the HCPC, securing a first job, adapting a CV and interviewing. A strong focus is placed on starting a private practice, from GDPR and associate work to websites, directories, writing a profile, insurance and payment systems. Risk management, including Joiner's model, is also covered.

This talk is not HPCSA accredited. There is no quiz.

 

This talk is for Clinical and Counselling Psychologists who want to take a traditional route in offering therapy and/or assessment in the UK.
