About the role
This senior clinical interview explores how you assess complex presentations, build formulations and choose psychological interventions. It also tests direct risk management, ethical boundaries and multidisciplinary work. The panel will value reflective reasoning over a rehearsed list of techniques.
How to prepare
- Practise presenting a formulation that links current difficulties, triggers, maintaining factors and strengths.
- Prepare an example of adapting therapy when progress, culture or client preference challenged the original plan.
- Review how you ask about self-harm, suicide, harm to others and immediate protective factors.
- Think through confidentiality, consent, record keeping and their justified limits.
- Prepare an example of constructive disagreement within a multidisciplinary team.
Common mistakes
- Assigning a diagnosis before exploring context, risk and alternative explanations.
- Naming a therapy model without showing collaborative formulation or progress review.
- Promising absolute confidentiality when safety concerns may require proportionate disclosure.
- Discussing multidisciplinary disagreement as a contest between professions.
