It’s my birthday 🥳 🎈🎂 #26

I have officially received ethics approval for my second empirical project! Excited to get started with it 🥳

This week on placement has been super positive and has made me feel like I’m actually good at what I do 🥺

I am now recruiting for my doctoral research as part of my clinical psychology training! We are looking to recruit parents/carers of children with #asthma and/or #allergies. Pls see attached research poster for further information. Direct Link to study: surreyfahs.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0S…

Feeling SO grateful that I’m enjoying my #DClinPsy research as much as I am - it was the part I was most apprehensive about & now I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite parts of the whole process!

Officially half way through the #dclinpsy 😳 can’t believe how quickly it’s going!

Settling into my older adults placement SO well - I absolutely love this team and I’m excited for the opportunities over the next 6 months ☺️ #dclinpsy

SO happy to have it confirmed that I’ll be heading back to paediatrics for my specialist placement - in the gastro team!!! 12 months of excitement ahead 🤩 #dclin

A lil break away from the dclin & the most exciting thing happened 🥹💍

Just been informed that I will be presenting my #dclin research at my first ever conference in October!! Super exciting 🥳⭐️

👏Verity will be presenting her research on the psychological impact of chronic constipation on families at the ERIC conference Proud supervisor moment :) Clinical Psychology at Surrey

And just like that, my older adults placement & my 2nd year of the doctorate is over 🥹 feeling emotional, but excited for what’s yet to come! #dclin #thirdyear

I blinked and suddenly I’m a Final Year Trainee Clinical Psychologist?! 🤯

Not exactly how I planned to start third year 😭🤕

I visited my final year placement (in gastro 😏) this morning & I’m SO excited to get started there next week! #finalyear #dclinpsy

Check out my new research-related instagram page @breakingthepootaboo for all things gastro 💩👏🏼

Officially 6 months left to go of the #dclin … 5 out of 6 placements done ☑️

Thrilled to announce that I have successfully defended my #dclinpsy thesis in my viva exam, and passed with minor revisions!! 🥳 one big step closer to Dr Lloyd 🥰
