Amazing episode with Renae Martelli re. letting go of worksheets and tuning into clients! Such a timely episode as I just finished my first placement and found this episode so informative! Thank you for making this podcast, it’s been an invaluable source of information as a trainee psychologist.
I am finding this podcast so helpful and really appreciate having an Australian source of information. I have particularly valued the early sessions discussing the financial aspects of establishing a private practice. Thank you so much for the honesty and transparency in providing detailed costs involved in running a private practice! Much appreciated!
I love this podcast - so many interesting voices and experiences.
I have just finished my fifth year master’s in psychology. I wish I had listened to this podcast before doing my placement. I am now looking forward to listening to every episode. I have learned so much. Fantastic wisdom. Thank you!!
I am absolutely loving (and bingeing) this podcast. As an early career psychologist every episode is very relevant and taking away so much from each. I am constantly sharing with my supervisor my key take aways from episodes. Highly recommend taking a listen!
Thank you for creating an Australian early career psychologist podcast!
