Please subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any new episodes.
During October 2023, I spent three days working in a Gender Identity Clinic up in Newcastle, England and I got to experience a little bit of what it’s like to work in the service. I learnt a lot about how Gender services run, what is involved and how brilliant the people there that work there. Yet most importantly, I learn how great transgender people are as well. which I already knew because I have a lot of transgender friends and I’m trans non-binary myself, but this work experience cemented my positive regard for these critical, life-saving services even more. Therefore, in this podcast episode, we’ll be looking at what happens at a Gender Identity Clinic, what I learnt from them and why I fully support these services. If you enjoy learning about transgender healthcare, mental health and clinical psychology then you’ll love today’s episode.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn how the older we get, the later "old age" starts, how money can be WERIDly motivating, and why the childfree might be a neglected population.

What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages of Clinical Cutoffs? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.
Throughout my clinical psychology education, there have been multiple times when a lecturer, an academic resource or a paper has mentioned that clinical cutoffs aren’t the best and they are problematic. Yet they have never gone into any great detail about the advantages and disadvantages of clinical cutoffs and why they are not good for our clients. I wanted to change this, not only for my own education but so I can educate others have the pros and cons of the cutoffs. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn about the advantages and disadvantages of clinical cutoffs and why they might disservice our clients instead of helping them. If you enjoy learning about mental health, psychotherapy and diagnosis then this will be a great episode for you.

Are All Barriers In Clinical Psychology The Same Height? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.
When it comes to clinical psychology, it is a very white, female, middle-class professional and I’ve spoken and written about the various reasons why this is the case and why this needs to change urgently. Diversity will always be critical within clinical psychology and related mental health professions, but a major reason why clinical psychology isn’t that diverse is because of barriers to the profession. For different groups of people, even including white men, there are different barriers that can limit access to the clinical psychology profession, but this doesn’t mean that all barriers are the same height. Therefore, in this psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what these barriers are, why they aren’t always the same height and what we can do as profession to help flatten and hopefully outright eliminate some of these barriers. If you enjoy learning about careers in psychology, mental health professions and more then this is a great episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn at what surprising age we start to treat people differently based on their wealth, how our sensitivity impacts our mental health and the importance of electrical smiles.
And a fascinating soapbox section where Connor Whiteley explains his strong dislike of the biomedical model based on a recent experience.

What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.
Something I flat out love about talking with fellow psychology students is that you get talking about different mental health conditions. For example, I was talking with a new friend the other week about how they next sad and depressed at this time of year. So I started wondering if they had Seasonal Affective Disorder, and when I asked them a few nights ago about it, they weren't sure but it was possible. Of course, I'm not going to say anything more about SAD to my friend because it isn't my business, but I wanted to learn more for my own knowledge and entertainment. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn what is Seasonal Affective Disorder, what is the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria of Seasonal Affective and what are some treatment options for Seasonal Affective Disorder.
