Episode notes

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

Money and conversations around it can sometimes seem uncomfortable and even remind you and your clients of earlier traumatic times.

I wish I had known more about finances and money when I was as aspiring psychologist and so I have invited a qualified independent financial advisor along to talk about making the most of your wealth, investments and pensions for you and your family even on a lower, aspiring psychology salary.

I’d of course 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!
