Access All Areas: Careers and Placement Guide

Description

Want to work in mental health but don’t know where to start? You’re not alone. Every month, students, graduates and career-changers ask us the same questions: what’s the difference between a psychologist and a therapist? Which route is right for me? And how do I actually get experience?

Access All Areas is our honest, practical, 40-page answer.

Inside:

• Who’s who – psychologists, CBT therapists, PWPs, counsellors, psychiatrists and the wider team, finally explained clearly
• Every route in, with honest numbers – training paths, timelines, funding and pay, so you can choose with your eyes open
• The placement playbook – what experience actually counts, where the first rungs are, and the exact email approach that gets replies from services (we know — we receive them)
• Applications that land – CVs, interviews, and what to do with rejection
• The pages nobody else writes – looking after yourself in this work, ethics before you’re qualified, and why your own mental health history doesn’t disqualify you
• Worksheets throughout – plus a one-page who’s-who table to keep

Written by the Uprawr Foundation’s clinical team for the UK system. No gatekeeping, no jargon, no pretending the competitive parts aren’t competitive – just the map we wish someone had handed us.
