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

Half term is here and whilst year 1 feels so close to completion still lots of written work for my placement portfolio to be done highlights this week are:
✅ closing off casework 3
👹 new office yogi friend as pictured
💕💙 lovely @positivitea-eps.bsky.social session to close Friday off
#edpsychs

Gorgeous extended working lunch at uni today full of sunbathing, ice cream and a bit of psychological formulation…the perks of studying at Sheffield is the beautiful parks ☀️🍦 only one more overnight stay of year 1 to go ! #edpsychs

After a lovely week off for my birthday, back to it this week to finish off half of my year 1 portfolio before a weekend at the coast 🌊 A beautiful desk reminder from my lovely friends to keep me going… find it so hard to switch off from this doctorate but I am determined to this weekend ✨#edpsychs

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

Came across @drnaomifisher.bsky.social book which has really helped me with one of my year 1 cases - thank you 👏🏼. My take away are focusing on how the child experiences the world, meeting them where they are at & what needs to change in their environment #edpsychs

Great session on dynamic assessment @edpsydan.bsky.social @edpsy.bsky.social delivered by Fraser Lauchlan … really reignited my spark for it 🧩✨ such a friendly and accessible session nice to see familiar faces too including half the year 1 TEPS at Sheffield 😆 #edpsychs

Really great couple of days at uni this week we explored the circle of adults process followed by narrative approaches to consultation the next day 🤍🗣️ #edpsychs

Lovely morning leading a values activity before our TEP team meeting - lots of self love and passion throughout the responses ❤️✨ #edpsychs

The most amazing morning delivering our commissioned research project we done in partnership with Christine Sketchley and her work in the NE! We went out the box and connected with adult services to explore how we can support trauma informed practice within schools #edpsychs #research

Really looking forward to getting stuck into my first bit of casework as a trainee, popped a few resources in my bag as a “just incase” but we will go with it…cannot wait to get back into a school 😆 #edpsychs #TEP
