Year 2 Sheffield Trainee Educational & Child Psychologist ❤️
Yesterday I completed my year 1 placement with Leeds EP team. What an interesting and diverse city to work in… I ended my last day delivering twilight training in a fantastic school 👏🏼 #edpsych

Love this ! Mine would be delivering or co delivering training on something I am passionate about and dynamic assessment with a child 🧩 lots of being with people ❤️ #edpsychs
Last month in group supervision, we explored what our ideal day as Psychologists would look like.

It won't surprise you to know supervision was in mine!

What about your ideal day? What would it consist of?

💭We want to establish an 'edpsy TEP group'

The energy and grassroots innovation of TEPs deserves a greater chance to influence what we do.

Take a read and if interested, complete an expression of interest by 19th May.

Please share with your TEP colleagues

What Iv learn this week is the amazing support I have around me on this doctorate, from my tutors, fellow trainees and other assistants I connect with such a supportive and non judgemental environment…a real glimmer moment was being told in supervision I am thinking and talking like an EP❤️#edpsychs

I've followed these 2 EP giants since day dot and it was AMAZING to see them together in real life

Hope you both have a productive but restful weekend!
