    EP. 13 Pre-selection exams

    Today I had Lauren, another trainee at Salomons, join me for an episode all about pre-selection exams. We mentioned a few resources that helped us including:⠀

    If you would like a copy of the list of topics I revised, please contact me via Instagram, but please remember the exams are more about how and when you apply the stats, rather than just knowing facts about them!

    EP. 10 Mentoring with Natalie

    I had the pleasure of talking with Dr Natalie - my former mentor, about mentorship, her clinical psychology journey and reflections on the doctorate process! We also answered questions relating to applications and Natalie gave great advice around "getting started".

mirib92 ,

Excellent resource for aspiring psychologists

Have only just discovered this podcast, but wish that I had something like this when I was applying to the doctorate!

Lots of useful insights and reflections on applying, the course, and current issues - all delivered in a chilled, conversational manner :)

gabbsoo ,

I can’t thank you enough

I am currently applying for the doctorate and have been using your podcasts as a reference point to re-listen to the gems you’ve shared. Thank you so soooo much! I have literally gone from knowing absolutely nothing about the process to just having so much information about this field and being very excited to embark it! Thanks a lot girl! God bless!

Keep sharing your journey please 💛
