Clinical psychology is a regulated profession in most countries. Completing a master’s degree alone may not automatically allow you to practice as a licensed clinical psychologist. Additional licensing, supervised practice, accreditation, or registration requirements are often required. The UK generally has broader psychology pathways and larger healthcare systems compared to New Zealand, but competition for clinical roles can be high in both countries.
