I am seriously considering a career change into clinical psychology, as a child psychologist, or into family therapy. I have looked at the relevant professional web sites and so have a pretty good understanding of the formal training requirements. What I now need is to speak to people actually doing the job, in order to get a better sense of whether it's for me. I spoke to one, very helpful, clinical psychologist, whom I was referred to by the mother of one of his patients. Otherwise, however, I seem to have hit a brick wall. When I ring up the relevant NHS services locally, I seem to get stonewalled by receptionists who are, understandably, protective of their staff's time. The local university has a doctoral course in clinical psychology, but their staff have ignored my e-mails. Can anyone working in one of these fields suggest how I could go about finding someone to speak to?
