Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

For those of you who are applying to the EdPsy or DclinPsy, I hope applications are going well. October marks Black History Month! In line with this, in this episode of the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, we welcome Jonathon Padi, an assistant psychologist working in the inner heart of London. Join us as we explore the need for human and local connections, what it is like working in a high intense setting as an assistant psychologist, and the gap in diversity in the psychology workforce. Jonathon also discusses different networks for ethnic minorities and a group he runs specifically for black males in psychology! Plus, Jonathon gives us a top tip to reduce burnout – helpful to all. Join us as we learn, grow and reflect on our personal experiences and our work.

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!
