Hello everyone, back again today with a video on Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWP) aka Low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapists (yes, both as much of a mouthful as each other). Sorry about the background noise, it's hard to find a quiet place to record with a large family! I am currently a trainee PWP working in London. This video includes a Q&A style section covering what I imagine to be the most common questions + extra questions asked by my Instagram followers, and then the second part is a *bonus* addition of a day in the life of my current job! Timestamps to skip ahead: 0:00 Introduction Q&A BASICS 1:00 What is a PWP? 2:31 What do PWPs do? 3:37 How do I become a PWP? 5:38 What experience do you need (to become a PWP)? 6:04 How do you prepare for a PWP interview? 8:20 What are the pros of PWP work? 10:42 What are the cons of PWP work? Q&A FROM INSTAGRAM 12:51 "What was your experience as a trainee PWP?" 13:41 "Wondering if PWP work alone, with out research experience, is it enough for the Doctorate?" 14:21 "Are PWP jobs less competitive than AP jobs?" 15:15 "How long were you doing PWP work until you got onto the Doctorate?" 15:43 "Is it hard to find a job as a PWP?" 16:22 "Would you recommend the training to someone who is very familiar with CBT?" 16:54 "Is it necessary to have a different qualification to become a PWP? I have a Master's in Psychology" 17:39 Onwards - Day in my life as a Trainee PWP!
