Happy face. Not one to brag, just hope to inspire. 10 years ago, I started out as a band 2 in the NHS as a HCA. Yesterday I became an 8a. To all those aspiring Clinical Psychologists out there: never give up hope, you can do it. #justkeepswimming – at Tottenham, London

I had the pleasure of completing Part 1 EMDR training last week with Sandi Richman and colleagues.It was ace & I enjoyed a cheeky trip to this exhibit during one of our breaks.EMDR is total wizardry.Different to my usual approach and fascinating from a neuro perspective

We practiced some of the skills & I chose my horrific fear of moths.Last night that a moth was in my bedroom and I simply noticed it and got into bed.Previously, I’d have hidden in the bathroom until help arrived 🀯😳 Looking forward to attending Part 2 in August #neuroiscool

Being a psychologist is really hard. But varied days like today are great: training MDT colleagues, meeting with a new patient, cognitive assessment and collaborative joint work with colleagues. Feeling revived and refreshed despite QiCN viva prep 🀯 #neuroiscool 🧠 – at East, England

I appear to have trained my dog in the art of learning through osmosis….he has an entire double bed to himself but chooses to nap on the Sohlberg & Mateer cognitive rehabilitation book. Proving that #neuroiscool, even for dogs 🐢
