Meet Lawson, who is finishing his Doctorate of Clinical Psychology training at Oxford and is on the neuropsychology pathway. He has a special interest in neuropsychology and LGBTQ+ issues within clinical psychology. I asked him some questions around his pre-training journey, his interests and experiences as a to-be-neuropsychologist, as well as his views as a trainee psychologist from a LGBTQ+ background.

Hope you find this video enjoyable and informative, and if you do (or have any questions), please do not hesitate to leave us a lil' comment and say hi!

☆ About Me ☆
My name's Aika, I'm 25, Hong Kong Chinese & I'm a final year Trainee Clinical Psychologist at Oxford. I hope to de-mystify the clinical psychology career in the UK, increase the representation of diversity in the field and make Clinical Psychology and Oxbridge feel just a little bit more accessible and human if I can.
