About the Book

This useful and accessible guide introduces the reader to the Psychological Practitioner roles and offers practical advice for those looking to pursue a career in the wider psychological professions. Demonstrating that psychology is not a ‘one size fits all’ profession, Ward and Drysdale guide readers through the options and pathways for a successful career as a Psychological Practitioner, including as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP), Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioner (MHWP), Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP) and Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP). The book covers the entire process from moving into the profession and being a trainee to mastering the job market and making the most of your career and next steps. Bringing together these four important roles, the book offers a comprehensive overview while also allowing you to dip in and out of the chapters to access needed information quickly and easily. Supported by an acronym decoder and real-life, diverse case studies, this is an indispensable resource for anyone looking to understand the potential of psychologically informed careers, either to move into a Psychological Practitioner role, or work alongside these valuable practitioners.

'This book is an essential read for anyone considering, starting, or developing their career as a psychological practitioner. What sets this book apart is its inclusive approach. It is written by experienced practitioners who have ensured that they involved the very workforce they are representing which conveys a sense of authenticity from the outset. This book not only considers the journey of becoming a psychological practitioner, but it gives the reader a real sense of what it is like to work as psychological practitioner.'
