Introduction

If you're considering a career in Clinical Psychology, you may be wondering how to gain relevant experience, secure an Assistant Psychologist role, or strengthen your application for Clinical Psychology training.


The route into Clinical Psychology is rewarding but highly competitive. Many aspiring psychologists find themselves feeling uncertain about what steps to take next, how to stand out from other applicants, or how to navigate repeated rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions


Who is clinical psychology career mentoring suitable for?

This service is suitable for psychology undergraduates, postgraduate students, recent graduates, Assistant Psychologists, Research Assistants, and anyone considering a future career in Clinical Psychology.


Do I need to be applying for Clinical Psychology training to benefit?

No. Many people seek support much earlier in their career journey, including when exploring different psychology career pathways or preparing for their first Assistant Psychologist applications.


Is mentoring different from therapy?

Yes. Mentoring focuses on career development, professional growth, applications, interviews and career planning. However, we may also discuss common challenges such as confidence, imposter syndrome and managing setbacks within a professional context.


Can sessions be completed online?

Yes. Mentoring sessions are available online across the UK, offering flexibility around work, study and placement commitments.


How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your goals. Some individuals benefit from a single consultation, while others prefer ongoing support over several months.


What can I expect from the first session?

The first session focuses on understanding your current situation, career goals, strengths and any barriers that may be preventing progress. Together we will develop a clear plan for next steps.


Do you offer a free initial consultation?

Yes. I offer a free 15-minute enquiry call where we can discuss your goals, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether mentoring would be a good fit for your needs.
