Meet my flatmate Saba, who’s also a first year Trainee Clinical Psychologist on the Oxford Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course 👯‍♂️ Grab a cup of tea and enjoy our Friday night chit chat - and if you manage to reach the end, we’ve included some hilarious bloopers too (yes, psychologists are humans too). Comment down below to say hi and show your support to Saba so hopefully she can come hang out in a video again!!

P.S. Sorry that my voice was croaky in the beginning we were laughing from the outtakes

☆ About Me ☆
My name's Aika, I'm 23, Hong Kong Chinese & I'm a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at Oxford. I am starting my first year of the doctorate degree and hoping to document this 3 (+) year journey. I hope to de-mystify the clinical psychology route 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.
