Becoming a LAPS practitioner
As a LAPS practitioner you will be embedded within one of the 黑料网’s Performance Programmes, interdisciplinary teams. This provides a range of opportunities to develop and evidence the requisite competencies that are needed to complete training towards becoming an Sport and Exercise Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This includes:
- Opportunities to practice psychology in multiple settings and formats, e.g. 1-1’s, workshops, seminars, etc
- Access to a range of clients including athletes, coaches and parents
- Producing academic research and the opportunity to work with world-leading academic staff
- Chances to support undergraduate and postgraduate applied psychology and sport science degrees
- Opportunities to produce educational resources to support psychological skill development in student athletes.
As well as providing psychological support internally, we also work with those external to the University who are seeking access to a sport psychologist. External opportunities range from working with individuals who would like private sessions to larger scale projects, such as contracts with Aston Villa FC’s Academy.
