I knew that I wanted to be a Clinical Psychologist when I researched future careers during my A Levels. I had an interest in how people think and behave and was keen to do a job where I felt like I was helping others.
During my undergraduate degree I learnt how to juggle multiple tasks and meet deadlines, which is vital in my current role.
One module in particular has drastically shaped my view on Clinical Psychology to this day. The module got me to think critically about medicalising people’s distress, the importance of making sense of what has happened to them and how this shapes their current experiences.
