Is 48 too old to retrain as an NHS clinical psychologist?

[Fullyhuman]

I’ve an unrelated BA.

I’d like to work part time until I’m ancient, if allowed to, so my question’s about likelihood of getting accepted on to training/offered jobs rather than it being worth it personally/financially.

Does anyone have any insight?

Have you considered speech and language therapy? It’s not just doing speech sounds with children, it also involves communication therapy with adults with progressive illnesses or after stroke, dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) and lots of other things. You can work with children, adults, and people of all ages with learning difficulties. On certain courses the nhs will pay your university fees too.
