Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

The DClinPsy deadline has just passed and the EdPsy deadline is approaching fast! I hope you feel accomplished with your applications and that it has gone well. In this episode, we focus on failure and success, 2 sides of the same coin. Failure – it is something we all experience and whilst it feels soul crushing at the time, we grow so much from these experiences. Join me, in this episode, where I discuss some of my major failures as we reflect on how they shaped me and my journey into becoming a qualified psychologist. Maybe these are things that you may relate to, or maybe it is a reflecting point for you; we hope it will be so helpful in your journey to becoming whatever type of psychologist you aspire to be.

We hope you find it so useful.

I’d love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to know what your offers are and to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
