I'm not sure about apprenticeships, but I suggest you check the route to becoming a clinical psychologist - as far as I'm aware it requires a PhD on the DClinPsy course in order to become an official clinical psychologist, but the route to getting to PhD can be varied, so explore as much as you can!

A quick google search didn't find anything relevant - but maybe try searching more and contacting some universities to see what they offer. It might be the case that a specific Psychology degree apprenticeship is very rare due to the nature of the work - client confidentiality, vulnerable populations, and sensitive topics may mean that only trained professionals have access, not students. But again, contact universities and professionals who may have a better idea
