I wrote an article for this month's @BPSWestMids newsletter. I talk about what it's like to throw yourself in at the deep end by starting out as an academic whilst undertaking a PhD. Thankfully, I'm fortunate enough that @DerbyUniPsych have made it a positive experience!

Brianna was a beautiful young woman, whose family describe the love & laughter she brought to those around her. Robbed of her life, now bigots in the media deny her identity & use her deadname. Even in death trans people are denied the freedom & dignity they are owed in life.

Reminder that to be a practitioner psychologist in UK, they need to be accredited by HCPC not BPS.

I see an increase in mental health & other advice being offered directly to the public by various psychological professionals. If you want to check if a psychologist is registered as an actual ‘practitioner psychologist’ you can check the HCPC website hcpc-uk.org/check-the-regist…

Check the Register

Online Register to find a paramedic, chiropodist, podiatrist, physiotherapist, psychologist, occupational therapist, dietitian

As the Wayfair conspiracy goes viral again on TikTok, I want to examine the culture of conspiracy theories on the platform. Conspiracy theories aren’t just occasional, random videos on TikTok, there is an entire creative economy which supports them. Thread⬇️
