So You Want to Be a Psychologist
Insider career guidance for aspiring clinical psychologists—from someone who just navigated this path.
5,910 people applied for 1,179 NHS-funded Doctorate places in 2025. That’s a 20% acceptance rate. Some universities saw over 700 applications for 45 spots.
If you’re trying to break into clinical psychology, you’re competing with hundreds of others—and university tutors won’t tell you how to stand out.
We will.
