I love listening to podcasts as I drive and this is one of my go to podcasts now. I’m not in psychology professionally, but have always found it fascinating. This podcast gives an insight into the world of clinical psychology and it’s great to hear from experts who share their work in a really interesting way. Well worth listening to!
I came across this podcast a bit later than most & I had already been through the DClinPsy application process. That being said, I have found it to be really helpful, covering topics that are relevant and useful in a really engaging way. I'd highly recommend to anyone interested in psychology!
I have been listening to The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast for several months whilst completing application forms and interviewing for assistant psychologist posts. The episodes have provided me with valuable knowledge and insight into clinical psychology and they definitely contributed
to my success. Thank you so much!
Marianne is so knowledgable, she is very thorough and has a lovely pace to her podcasts. I listened before I got onto training and still find it helpful. Highly recommend her book also!
It’s amazing to have a space dedicated to everything an aspiring psychologist needs on the journal to qualification. Marianne is a compassionate host who gets really interesting guests on for us. Thank you
