Welcome to Psychology, Actually with Dr Marianne Trent.

If you’re new here, this is the perfect place to start.

This podcast explores what’s really going on beneath the surface of our lives and within the psychology profession itself. Through conversations with psychologists, professionals, and inspiring guests, we explore the psychology shaping how we live, work, relate, and cope when life doesn’t go to plan.

Alongside expert interviews, you’ll also find reflective solo episodes - including my member's only Inner Work - where I share thoughts, patterns, and psychological ideas to help you better understand yourself and others.

This show was previously known as The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, and while it still supports aspiring and qualified psychologists, it has grown into something broader because psychology doesn’t just shape our careers, it shapes everything.

Whether you’re navigating your path into psychology, already working in the field, or simply curious about human behaviour, you’re very welcome here.

New episodes are released every Monday at 6am (UK time).

If you’d like to go deeper, you can also join for First Look access and exclusive Inner Work reflections.

And if this resonates, make sure you follow or subscribe so you don’t miss what’s coming next.
