Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode:

Consultancy, Values and Health Challenges with Dr Liz Gregory

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

One of my favourite parts of being a psychologist is learning from my colleagues, many of them whom have had decades of experience. It can be wonderful learning and growing alongside more established staff members and hearing about them and their careers and how the profession has changed over time. In this episode we speak with Dr Liz Gregory a consultant clinical psychologist who has recently retired. We also speak about her experiences of being diagnosed with and recovering from cancer.

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!
