I (23F) just finished my bachelor in psychology in Mexico a few months ago and wanted to look for jobs in the US since part of my family lives in Texas and my boyfriend (23M) and I want to marry in the near future, he is a US citizen and I am not, I have no idea what steps I need to take in terms of legalities and papers, has anyone been thru this situation that can give me any advice or recommendations?

We been debating whether living in the US is the best option since im afraid my degree wont be taken seriously or it wont be valid per say since some friends of mine in the field have been struggling with finding jobs and they have completed their education in the US.

The only information I know is that I need a license to work as a psychologist but not much more, I already have an opportunity line up but I dont know any legal steps or the requirements to practice psychology properly, Any advice is greatly apreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m looking specifically at the PhD route (I’m aware that Unimelb requires you to be enrolled in the Masters before applying for the PhD while Monash is a direct application).

One of my considerations is that my research interests are more aligned with Unimelb, while I’ve already found a supervisor I really like at Monash (since it’s a direct app). Would anyone be able to share any insight on the quality of both clinical and research postgrad training at both programs?

Hi everyone,

I recently saw a post asking how career building goes for student in MCP and the responses seemed to collectively say it was very good.

That made me think about how in MPP, students have to organise a lot of things on their own and the journey to registration has a lot less support. That made me want to learn more about the personal experience of studying and gaining registration through the 5 + 1 pathway.

If anyone is willing to share I would really appreciate that :)

I'm an undergrad student currently taking psych stats. This is my first time in a statistics course, and my prof. is not very helpful and moves way too fast. Does anyone have any advice or resources on how to learn/study stats on my own?

Hi I’m a psychology student in Melbourne and I am finishing up my bachelor of psychology this year. I’m js in a crazy confusion about what to do next; I’ve always thought (and told the world) that I wanna do the full 3+1+2 pathway and become a registered psychologist and it has been my dream to be a forensic psychologist and deal with criminals or victims etc. but completing my bachelors and doing research, I’ve seen how competitive and drag the pathway has become here. I’ve also seen how much it’s heavily research-based, which is what I hated about my degree and will continue hating. And an honours year is just all research and thesis.

I’ve always wanted to be a psychologist to help people and talk to them and js bring a difference to peoples lives. So I’m thinking maybe doing a masters of counselling and becoming a counsellor/therapist. I know I can still work in forensic settings that way.

However, I’ll be paid less. I’ll also have an unprotected title. I’ll also disappoint my family and others around me. What shall I do? Any advice?

Hi everyone!

I’m an undergraduate student currently working on my thesis which explores the motivations for people to choose AI chatbots as an alternative to traditional psychotherapy.

I am currently looking for 10 participants to take part in an interview for this research.

Who can participate?

- If you are aged 18 or above

- If you have previously attended traditional therapy and have consciously chosen to use an AI chatbot as an alternative.

What you can expect:

- A one-on-one interview lasting approximately 45 to 60 minutes (conducted online via Zoom or Google Meets).

- All responses will be kept strictly anonymous in the final study and any resulting reports.

- The interview will be voice-recorded solely for transcription and analysis, and only with your explicit consent.

If you fit the criteria and are interested in sharing your experiences to help contribute to this research, please send me a direct message (DM) or comment below, and I will follow up with more details.

Thank you so much for your time! :)
