The labor market is constantly changing, and Psychology is no exception.
If before the emergence of new technologies, word of mouth was almost essential to make a living as a psychologist, something has changed in recent decades: now it is necessary to be creative when it comes to offering something different and having visibility in the digital world.
Psychologists in the information age
Although it is positive that patients are recommended by their close circles and it is true that having good training and experience in the sector is crucial to perform a good professional job, having many master’s degrees and acquiring job skills does not guarantee success or a brilliant career as a psychologist.
To practice as a professional in this field it is necessary to go further, and that is why Psychology and Mind, from the hand of Jonathan García-Allen and Bertrand Regader (two of the founders of the portal), and Miguel Ángel Rizaldos and Nacho Coller, two psychotherapists well known on the internet, they help us discover the power of online visibility with their talk: “From the couch to the internet: how to be a psychologist in the 21st century.”
The conference will take place at the University of Malaga on May 16, 2019 at 4pm, and anyone interested can attend after registering by sending an email to (email protected)
Why is it important to have online visibility?
Studying the Degree in Psychology is an enriching experience both on a personal and professional level. But today there is a lot of competition in this sector, so it is important to differentiate yourself and make yourself visible if you want to dedicate yourself to what you like professionally.
The motivation of many psychologists is to help other people, something that becomes complicated if not many people know us. Thanks to the emergence of the Internet, social media and social networks, it is possible to exploit new promotional possibilities and reach many people who need our help or who require our services.
The new reality gives us great opportunities for communication and interaction and any psychologist can benefit from it. If what you want is to boost your psychology company or your own personal image as a psychologist, don’t miss the opportunity that this talk offers you.
The talk offers digital marketing and personal branding tips and tools for psychologists
“From the couch to the internet: how to be a psychologist in the 20th century.” XXI” aims to be a useful colloquium talk for students who are finishing their degree, recent graduates and those psychologists who are active and want to know how to present themselves in front of others and delve deeper into digital communication, aware that many potential patients or clients browse social networks daily and search on Google for those clinics or psychologists that generate greater trust. The reality is that those with greater visibility and better branding are the ones that arouse greater interest.
In this talk you will find strategies that aim to provide prestige, notoriety and reputation on the internet and social networks and they will help you work on your own personal brand. For example, creating an attractive website or using a blog.
