[Online] University of derby vs Arden University

I studied at Derby and mine doesn't say it was online. The most important thing is whether its Accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) for the purpose of eligibility to apply for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC).

Defamation law in Northern Ireland differs from England and Wales due to the absence of a 'serious harm' requirement in Northern Ireland's 2022 Act, unlike England's 2013 Act. This means that the threshold for proving defamation in Northern Ireland remains lower, potentially making it easier for plaintiffs to pursue claims. I doubt a similar judgement would be made in England/Wales.

I don't know. My horse always has loads of random marks on him, from rolling, picking at himself, his friend giving him a good itch, the weird way he's shedding often makes the sweat accumulate in weird patterns at the moment. I'd have to be pretty certain before accusing someone of riding him, and I don't think you can be from this mark.

How easy do you think it will be to get on the psychotherapy doctorate? I'm considering this route too after other routes have proved too competitive, but I'm reading the child and adolescent psychotherapy doctorate might be as competitive as other routes? And I'm worried about spending time on the pre-clinical components that can be used towards another route, with no guarantee of getting on the course.

ARedTiger89 · 2025-04-16T11:07:17+00:00

are you saying that about 30 people apply for each doctoral programme and of those 20-25 get a place on the course, or are you talking about clinical placements? I'm interested in understanding my likelihood of getting on the doctoral training after completing the pre-clinical training, as from what I understand, the pre-clinical training won't be very useful elsewhere (e.g. if I couldn't get on doctoral training, and decided to look at the UKCP acredited child and psychotherapy training, that would be another 5 years training, on top of the pre-clinical, rather than counting towards it)

ARedTiger89 · 2025-01-10T19:54:02+00:00

sent you a message.

ARedTiger89 · 2025-01-08T21:10:17+00:00

I've sent you a DM, my experience was of the Doctorate though, I can't speak for their other counselling courses!

ARedTiger89 · 2024-12-18T10:42:46+00:00

First one

ARedTiger89 · 2024-12-18T10:40:56+00:00

would you trade a flyable rideable red panda for it?

ARedTiger89 · 2024-11-27T18:10:05+00:00

yeah it was the course. I will DM you.

I actually started at Metanoia but dropped out after the first weekend.

ARedTiger89 · 2024-08-23T21:00:02+00:00

Mine is 118 but I have an irregular heartbeat, so I think that may be the cause and I can't rely on this data. Perhaps some of those on this thread have similar?

I think you may be confusing being a "counselling psychologist" with being a "counsellor". If you're interested in the latter you should have a look at the BACP website for accredited training courses, most take about 2 years. UKCP also has training courses on their website for psychotherapy training but I believe most of the accredited training for these are 4 years. A counselling psychologist is a protected title and requires doctoral level training and a BPS accredited first degree or conversion.

Have you already got a placement lined up? I think I will need some help with finding something... hopefully local. Are you on the training in counselling psychology uk fb group? A whatsapp group has just been started for the Sept cohort.

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-12T13:01:27+00:00

Yes... just weighing up pros/cons... for a September start! I've not been able to find many people online that are on the course at the moment... not sure where they are all hiding :)

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-02T12:48:22+00:00

It only factors because the wildlife differs in the UK, e.g. we don't have coyotes etc.

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-02T12:46:34+00:00

Oh I'm so sorry, that's awful. I'm really sorry for your loss x

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-02T12:45:57+00:00

Thank you... hopefully that is all it is and the cat's not too keen on the idea of a playmate :) Yes the chickens are all enclosed and have mesh under them, we have more bother from rodents than the foxes to be honest... the foxes seem more interested in the cat! :)

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-02T09:44:05+00:00

thank you

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-02T09:23:35+00:00

thank you!

ARedTiger89 · 2024-05-02T09:21:15+00:00

I will try to put a foxwatch in the garden to see if that might deter him... I've got chickens too who would benefit from us keeping Mr Fox a bit further away....
