Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

Money and conversations around it can sometimes seem uncomfortable and even remind you and your clients of earlier traumatic times.

I wish I had known more about finances and money when I was as aspiring psychologist and so I have invited a qualified independent financial advisor along to talk about making the most of your wealth, investments and pensions for you and your family even on a lower, aspiring psychology salary.

I’d of course love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to know what your offers are and to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
