The Association of Clinical Psychologists UK provides several one-to-one support schemes as part of our response to COVID-19 and beyond. These schemes provide up to six free, confidential sessions with members who are senior clinical psychologists who offer support to ACP-UK members (full and trainee members). We also support senior and frontline clinical staff and senior managers involved in dealing with the current high level of healthcare demand. Please see below for more details about the schemes, and information about how to access support.
The schemes are coordinated by Dr Penelope Cream. Please contact her on [email protected] if you have any questions.
The scheme provides all ACP-UK trainee and qualified full members with confidential support from other clinical psychologists who will listen, advise and help. You can choose to speak to someone outside your organisation or geographical area if you prefer. Sessions will initially be by either phone or video, at times to be arranged between you and the psychologist supporting you.
The scheme provides a confidential self-referral service for senior medical staff, clinical team leaders and senior management to provide one-to-one psychological support for those who feel they would benefit from it. Consultants/team leaders may also value a single consultation about their team’s functioning or a team member causing concern.
Would you like some help with a professional issue that is impacting on your working life? We have an expert panel of ACP-UK members ready to provide free, peer support to other members on a range of issues.
Topics we can help with include sickness absence, the impact of health conditions, HCPC hearings and registration matters, bullying, discrimination, parental leave, intercolleague difficulties and career breaks.
For further information please email [email protected]
ACP-UK has a team of experienced clinical psychologists ready to provide support to other members who may have received notification of an HCPC Fitness to Practise enquiry or report. We are ready to support our clinical psychologist members with understanding and navigating this stressful process. We will allocate a specific peer supporter to help you with every step of the pathway.
