Working as a psychologist in France
The title of psychologue is legally protected in France. You need a Bachelor's and a Master's in psychology, including a supervised professional placement, then registration on the national list of health professionals (ADELI, moving to RPPS). The psychotherapist title is separate and has its own requirements. EU-trained psychologists can request an authorisation to use the title. School psychologists are mostly recruited through a competitive exam. Some sessions are reimbursed through the « Mon soutien psy » scheme for psychologists who join it. Search for « psychologue clinicien », « neuropsychologue », « psychologue du travail » or « psychologue en EHPAD ».
