Becoming a psychologist or psychotherapist
Many of our graduates want to continue on to become practicing psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists.
To become a Chartered Psychologist, you need to gain Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) by completing a BPS accredited degree. You then go onto further training in the area of psychology that you want to work in, such as Counselling Psychology, Clinical Psychology or Educational Psychology.
