Wishes to work abroad

I've not made a topic before, and I can't find anything here on this topic - so hopefully this is the right spot!

Is anyone familiar with the process of a U.S. trained clinical psychologist (i.e., someone who received their doctorate degree in clinical psychology from an APA accredited program) moving to work in Europe, either in academia or in practice?

different countries have different accreditations for clinical psychology. APA does not necessarily allow you to practice in other countries (i.e., APA does not allow you to practice in a bunch of European countries that I know of), also check official registration requirements to be able to even use the title of (clinical) psychologists - these are often protected titles. In many countries 'coach' is not a protected title though. Academia maybe, but depends on your credentials of course. 

 

You could start here to look for requirements (when in English)
