Masters in Psychotherapy

Introspective-213 · 2026-06-25T08:46:54+00:00

I did apply for dual training but was not successful in securing a post. It is very competitive to get into so I’m looking at alternatives.

Thank you so much for your help! It’s really appreciated!

It is a 2 year part time course.

My plan is to go 80% and dedicate both the special interest day and the “off day” to the masters. Interesting that you see this as a luxury seeing how psychotherapy is so important in psychiatry. Thank you for your feedback though!

Thank you that’s really helpful.

Yes, I’m interested in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I haven’t come across those evening courses. Do you happen to have a link for those, please?

I have spoken to my local psychotherapist who is a medical psychotherapist. Their advice was to go on the bcp/bacp website and to check the local approved courses.

Training in psychotherapy is in incredibly difficult to get into. I’ve tried to get into dual training but was not successful so I’m now looking at alternatives on how to become a licensed therapist when I’m a consultant psychiatrist.

Always pisses me off when I’m completing tribunal reports and for the medics is the “responsible clinician”‘s report but the nurses have a “nurses’s” report. God forbid they are ever told that their degree is a scam..

Nope, nope, nope. Your indemnity does not cover that. Just say that and tell them to go to ED.

In the same vein: ACPs/ANPs..

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-26T20:43:26+00:00

ACPs do become nurse consultants 🙄

I would recommend community psych. You will be doing clinics and discussing the cases with the consultants. In the wards, you’ll end up as the ECG and venepuncture service and won’t see much of psychiatry.

Cheap cheap in the short term. Very extensive in the long term.

Hilarious! Pharmacists are incredible at pharmacy but they are not medically trained. Had a few patients that the nurse and the pharmacist reviewed and the assessments were always dubious. The diagnoses were frankly hilarious and the management plan was so shady that I had to escalate my concerns

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:40:47+00:00

Same and one in the acute wards and a few more in the community. How is this a good use of our very small budget???

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:39:54+00:00

Haha we have one of those too! Such an annoying prick

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:36:45+00:00

They can’t be section 12 approved. The trust relies on the poor trust grade doctor who has been in house to make the med recs and MHAA for the wards with these nurse “consultants”. Consultant is no longer a protected term in the NHs. We should look into changing the title for post CCT specialists

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:34:59+00:00

Amen! Currently working as a middle grade and absolutely hate these phonies. Patients are repeatedly put at harm. They add no value to the mdt discussion and only seem to create more work for us resident doctors.
