How do I go about training to become a clinical psychologist?

I may sound a little stupid, but I'm almost entering Year 11, %26amp; I've figured as I'm doing so, I really should start finding out things about future options. I've always known I want to help people, %26amp; I take a huge interest in the way the mind %26amp; body works. %26amp; I've always known I either want to become a clinical psychologist, or a dietitian/nutritional therapist. My mind is telling me currently: Clinical Psychologist. Basically, I've been doing quite a bit of research, but there are so many different websites which tell you different things. I'm the kind of person who has to have everything mapped out ahead of me, so this is becoming a pretty important matter. Seriously, any tips, advice, subjects to take, universities, degrees, anything will be much appreciated. I don't know any psychologists, so this website was my last resort. I'd love to hear from anybody who knows about the genre of work! Thanks.

First do A Levels including Psychology, Biology and two others you like. Take a psychology undergraduate degree in university which lasts 3 years then move onto a postgraduate Ph.D degree. I'm hoping to get a Ph.D. in psychology after the undergraduate course I hope to take, I'm currently an A2 student. Don't worry about universities yet however, worry about GCSE's, which college and which A levels you are going to take.

Psychology major as an undergrad....4 years....great GPA, take GRE's...graduate record exams, apply to graduate school.....usually to the Ph.D. program...you will get your master's degree along the way. You will be in graduate school 4-7 years...do a thesis, (orginal research and statistical analysis...governed by a committee and passed by a committee); then you do your pre-liminary exams...usually last a week; then your dissertation, original research, defense, etc, etc....then for clinical you do a one year internship, surpervised.....graduate, then you have to be licensed, (another exam)...then you can practice.
