This 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, this 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‑ife, diverse case studies, this is an indispensable resource for anyone looking to understand the potential of psychologically informed careers and move into a psychological practitioner role.

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.'Paul Thompson, Teesside University, UK
