Qualification in Health Psychology: Stage 2 Supervision


Dr Sarah Snuggs and Dr Katherine Finlay are both qualified to offer Stage 2 Training Supervision for the BPS Qualification in Health Psychology (QHP, sometimes known as the 'independent route'). We have significant experience of supervising the QHP and Doctoral level research.

The QHP can be undertaken in conjunction with a PhD by Research, often described as doing a 'PhD+' or on its own. Upon successful completion, trainees will be able to register with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) to use the protected title of Health Psychologist.
