Excellent video with a precise trajectory. As someone who has finished my undergrad in Psychology and is now building up my experience in a mental health setting, it sometimes becomes confusing (with lots of contradicting information) on how to become a CBT Therapist. This video has made it a lot clearer though. :) Thank you very much. Also, do you have LinkedIn?
You sound so soft and lovely 🥰 I wanted to ask if the pathways mentioned in the video are same for international students? Can international students who come for their masters there eventually practice independently? Or is it limited to the UK residents only?
As well your qualification being accredited by BABCP, do you have to be registered with UKCP ? Also is CBT psychotherapy or psychology based? Confused. Thank you for a really good explanation.
Hello, for me I have chosen not to be registered with both you might be able to but not sure of the advantage of doing that. CBT is a type of psychotherapy but is underpinned by theories in both psychology and psychotherapy.
Hello, thank you very much for the video. I have one question, and I'd appreciate your reply. Rather than taking university courses and getting a Trainee PWP role, is there any way to get CBT training with BPS accreditation in the UK? Because, when I look at the BPS website the only options I get are universities. Thank you so much!!
Hello, in the UK, accreditation comes from BABCP for CBT so it wouldn't be through the BPS as they would only be for Psychologists. Hope that explains it :)
there’s quite a couple of diffrent unis on BABCP website for level 2 accredition, they’re all at diff levels msc/diploma etc. will every single one of the unis allow you to become qualified as a CBT THERAPIST (on the website) ? thanks
Yes the BABCP is best to find the unis which will qualify you and allow you to be accredited. Always best to speak to the unis directly to see what one will suit your needs best.
Hi Kelly, very detailed video 👏🏽 I just want to ask I’m a psychology graduate with six months work experience in hospital as psychology intern and one year as HCA in England, as an international student looking for an affordable CBT Diploma not too expensive. Do you know any universities? Thanks in advance ❤
Hey, thanks for your comment, I would check out the different options on BABCP's website! Also if you check out my instagram there has been lots of conversation on there about different options! I hope that helps.
If someone has done a 4 year undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters in clinical psychology and have relevant work experience, can they apply for the trainee cbt programs funded by NHS
Unfortunately, my GCSE science grades didn’t allow me to take any core sciences or psychology. However, I did choose Sociology. Will a social work degree at uni be the best choice for my situation when wanting to become a CBT therapist? Would I get the same experience and knowledge from it so I can still pursue the career? Or will I become disadvantaged for not taking a more mental well-being related degree? If so is Uni worth going or should I start researching in apprenticeship???
Hello, I know a few people who did a nursing degree who went on to do a MSc in CBT so I can see the cross-over it might be best to look at the CBT courses and see their requirements. Kelly
That's such an insightful video.. i was getting really confused as i want to do pgdip in CBT from the UK but can you please help me to understand in what all areas we are allowed to practice as a CBT therapist and what are the limitations. Please note i have a keen interest to practice with clinical population, already completed masters in clinical psychology and PGDip in Rehabilitation psychology from India.
It is always best to discuss with the unis directly but when you get your full accreditation which is often a year after you pass as you have to complete a year as with provisional accreditation you can practice in the UK.
@@kellythepsychologistthank you for sharing your views. As i was going through the details, CBT therapists can practice in a wide range of anxiety and depression cases (class 3-4) but I am interested to know if there's any other course (apart from psy.d) that can permit us to deal with most of the disorders (like bipolar, personality disorder, eating disorders, etc). Can you please guide me on that. Thanks in advance
I’m currently in my final year at university studying Psychology, I’ve been volunteering at a recovery service mainly looking into mental health aspects of the service (possibly might go to another charity). I was going to go apply for an IAPT low intensity role after I have graduated, but I was wondering if you knew how much experience would be expected from me? I have 3 months experience at one mental health charity and another 2 months experience at my current charity.
Hello, I am not sure if I am honest, the best thing would be to contact those who are advertising and see, they might specify it in the job spec as well. Kelly
It really depends on your own skill set but you can always apply and see the response, I did mine straight from my undergraduate but I know others who have worked for a bit first.
@@kellythepsychologist Sorry to jump on this comment but I’ve just been accepted onto a self funded BABCP Level 2 accredited course, I graduated in social work which they class as a core profession however when I’ve checked the BABCP website, the criteria to apply for provisional accreditation seems to require you to have a minimum of 12 months professional practice after you qualify in your core profession! Since you also did the PgDip straight after your undergrad I was wondering if you had any issues with this when it came to applying for the provisional accreditation?
Thank you so much for providing this information I have already got degree in biomedical science with 2.1 upper class. How I can I become CBT Therapists
hi I just finished my msc in psychology conversion and will be registering under bps plus i am already registered under sssc. i have two years experience working as a support worker for mental health and learning disabilities. i am just wondering how competitive is it when applying for a course. i am thinking of applying through core profession.
Personally (I’m a computer scientist) I think anybody entering the world of psychology /psychoanalysis /psychotherapy /psychiatry (and anything that begins psy) must have a University degree and a masters as a minimum. A doctorate will be helpful in psychoanalysis, fir example. I will not allow anybody to become a therapist, councillor etc by just attending some training (even if it is for 2 years). More and more people around the world are changing careers from law or social work or whatever domain and retraining for a couple of years and then calling themselves therapists. It is not aimed at this video. It’s just my observation as someone who has nothing to do with this field. Also, we need more men in the psy world.

So glad you found it helpful, Kelly
Hey! I’m in the same position, I was wondering what kind of things you’ve done to build up experience in a mental health setting? :)
You sound so soft and lovely 🥰
I wanted to ask if the pathways mentioned in the video are same for international students?
Can international students who come for their masters there eventually practice independently? Or is it limited to the UK residents only?
Hello, I am really not sure it might be best to contact the unis themselves

Hey , thanks for your help 🙏🏻 I graduated as psychology but my English is not very well what i need to take CBT course?
In the video, I explain the different routes you can take following a a psychology undergrad
I’m currently in my final year at university studying Psychology, I’ve been volunteering at a recovery service mainly looking into mental health aspects of the service (possibly might go to another charity).

Hi Kelly I completed a 2 year CBT level 5 diploma, through an online course, is this any good?
Hi, you will need to check if you are in the UK if it is recognised by the BABCP
How much experience do you need while working in the mental health services before you can apply for the masters?
It really depends on your own skill set but you can always apply and see the response, I did mine straight from my undergraduate but I know others who have worked for a bit first.

@@leahmatthews8021 I assume she may have done a placement year during her undergrad? Either way it would be an extra year, aha.
What about level 1 BABCP accredited courses in CBT… would you have to do level 2 after to fully qualify?
Yes you would need to do level 2 as this would enable you to meet all the requirements for accreditation.
what do u think as an msc psychology conversion graduate i should go for a masters in cbt ? i also have a doctorate degree in physiotherapy
It totally depends on the uni what they accept and what you would want to do! you can qualify with a PGDip
I’m sorry I’m not very good in English . How long did it take you in total to become a CBT?
Hi Connor, it took me 18 months.
Thank you so much for providing this information I have already got degree in biomedical science with 2.1 upper class. How I can I become CBT Therapists
I would say have a look on the BABCP website for stage 2 courses and see the entry criteria for them.

I completely agree that having the appropriate training is so important and yes definitely need more diversity!
I am way too poor to afford to go into therapy, wow that is a lot of study.
You can get funding through student finance England
@@user-et5xs4li9u The irony is I am actually looking at starting a level 2 soon lol.
I hope that all goes well for you!
Can't IAPT CBT Therapists do further training in EMDR
Hello, yes from my knowledge they can, all CBT therapists can if they wish too. Kelly
