About the role

This interview tests how you assess complex presentations, build psychological formulations and deliver safe, evidence-based interventions. The panel will also look for sound risk decisions, ethical boundaries and the ability to contribute clearly to multidisciplinary care.

How to prepare

  1. Practise explaining one formulation from presenting problem to maintaining factors and treatment goals.
  2. Review how you assess self-harm, suicide, harm to others and safeguarding concerns.
  3. Prepare an example of adapting a therapeutic approach when progress stalled.
  4. Refresh consent, confidentiality, record keeping and boundary principles.
  5. Check the official professional body for the current registration and professional requirements in the role's location.

Common mistakes

  • Naming a diagnosis before gathering enough evidence or considering alternatives.
  • Giving a vague promise of confidentiality without explaining its limits.
  • Describing a therapy model without showing how you tailor it to the client.
  • Sharing identifiable client details in an interview example.
