Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode: 25: Being a parent whilst training as a psychologist: the highs and lows

Today we speak to a Trainee Clinical Psychologist studying at Salomons who explores how she navigated moving to England from Australia and then having a baby before getting onto training. We explore the experiences of parents, what support parents need, and how other trainees and courses may be able to help.
