Counselling psychology doctorate

If you can't even get a 2:1 in a psychology degree (most could in their sleep) you have no chance of getting onto a counselling psychology degree

Doctorates are very competitive! You not only need to have a good degree, but also experience. I can't stress how importance experience is... work experience, voluntary, paid, shadowing, anything! That's what counts the most.

Oddly hostile (and also completely inaccurate) response. It does make it significantly more difficult for yourself, there's no denying that, but to say you have 'no chance' of getting onto the doctorate is just incorrect. Chill out.

Thank you for your reply! Something that was useful to say the least! I'm looking to find some volunteer work but I can't seem to find any that I can afford! Some include going to other countries like Sri lanka, Cambodia, Fijis and some others but they're so expensive! Any advice on volunteer work?

Thanks!

Wow, abroad?! Where are you looking for this voluntary work? I'd highly recommend Sane Line - they look for Listening Volunteers that work on the phones. If you contact them, they will send you an e-mail to let you know when the next open evening is. However, be warned, because you must be able to commit for one year. That being said, it's excellent on your CV, and their training is good too. Also check out Mind, ReThink, Samaritans. The really big mental health organisations are the best to go for, but also take a look on www.do-it.org.uk for organisations and charities in your area! Good luck
