Clinical psychology aims to reduce psychological distress and to enhance and promote psychological well-being. A wide range of psychological difficulties may be dealt with, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, learning disabilities, child and family problems and serious mental illness.

Assistant Psychologists are normally paid on the NHS Agenda for Change bands 4 to 6. Band 4 starts at around 拢15,000. Qualified Clinical Psychologists start from around 拢25,000 (band 7), with pay scales going to 拢80,000+ for very senior positions. Details of the most recent salary scales can be found on the NHS website.

It is a international known field but registration for work else where is not always simple. The pay is OK but............. You have to tolerate dealing with peoples problems every working day. To become a clinical Psych you will have to complete at least a Masters. Jobs aren't that hard to find. Getting into a clinical training programme is very competative.
I once looked at becoming a clinician but a year of working with Alcoholics and Drug addicts showed me it wasn't my line. I ended up in Industrial Psychology...... Current salary in xs of 100K. But took me 20 years to get to this level.

To become a qualified clinical psychologist you will need to have:

- A psychology degree (accredited by the British Psychological Society; for courses see: http://www.bps.org.uk/careers/accredited... )
- Some relevant experience (typically one or two years)
- Complete a three year postgraduate (doctorate level) training programme.

Typically this will take a minimum of 7-8 years and is very competitive鈥?br>
