USEFUL RESOURCES

This page will be dedicated to any useful resources that are relevant to the Clinical Psychology Doctorate. If you do find something useful, please contact me and I will add it to the page. We aim to try and get free-to-access resources, however this is not always feasible.

THE ALTERNATIVE HANDBOOK (2018)

By the BPS

The Alternative Handbook is a useful tool to gather more information about courses you are interested in applying to. It is formatted using information provided by current trainees on the different courses, rather than information than the courses/universities themselves. I cannot put the latest handbook in the download section, however I can put in a previous, free-to-access Handbook in as an example of what it looks like. If you want the latest version, I recommend going to the British Psychological Society website and search for The Alternative Handbook.

RESOURCES

Available for Download

There is a range of resources that I've created and available to download. They all have different functions but I've tried and tested each.

52 WEEK GRID CALENDAR

I love using grid calendars. I recently started using a 156 week grid calendar to represent the three year long doctorate. Each week I colour in a square to represents a completed week. By the end I'll have a lovely rainbow. I hope you can use these designs similarly.

SUPERVISION LOG

I've used this design for all of my supervisions. It reminds me of what I want to bring to the agenda, helps me organise my thoughts, and create an action plan. I hope it helps!

HCB-GIBBS REFLECTION LOG

The Hot Cross Bun/Gibbs Models Reflection Log is a hybrid of the two models that I use when reflecting on situations. They can be useful for breaking down the situation and considering what you need to learn from the situation.

HCB-GIBBS REFLECTION LOG EXAMPLE

This is a fabricated example of how you can use the HCB-Gibbs Reflection Log. It also includes hints for how to fill in each section.

2021 REFLECTION CALENDAR

This PDF 2021 calendar dedicates one page to each month. Alongside the dates, is a reflection activity. The aim is to practice or complete the activity within that month. I hope you enjoy.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE PAGE

with 'Buy Me A Coffee'

I've been there. I've had the rejections. I know what it feels like to try as hard as you can and all you want is for someone to give you a chance. 

​

I made this page with the hopes of making that process a little bit easier for aspiring Clinical Psychologists. I want to provide some clarity to an isolating process. I want to share the knowledge I've accumulated as a Trainee Clinical Psychologist. I want to help people. One way I can help people is by providing feedback on doctorate applications. 

​

I'm also aware that this process doesn't just knock your confidence, it can be expensive. That's why I've decided not to charge for providing feedback on applications. However, this can be a tiring process and it can take a lot of hours. That's why I'm asking people to support me through 'Buy Me A Coffee'. It's a secure website that you can use to provide a donation which I will use to buy a Chia Latte to power me through reading people's applications. 


If you're willing to help, please click the button below that's titled 'Buy Me A Coffee'. Any support will be greatly appreciated.
