Last month in group supervision, we explored what our ideal day as Psychologists would look like.

It won't surprise you to know supervision was in mine!

What about your ideal day? What would it consist of?

💭We want to establish an 'edpsy TEP group'

The energy and grassroots innovation of TEPs deserves a greater chance to influence what we do.

Take a read and if interested, complete an expression of interest by 19th May.

Please share with your TEP colleagues

What Iv learn this week is the amazing support I have around me on this doctorate, from my tutors, fellow trainees and other assistants I connect with such a supportive and non judgemental environment…a real glimmer moment was being told in supervision I am thinking and talking like an EP❤️#edpsychs

Came across @drnaomifisher.bsky.social book which has really helped me with one of my year 1 cases - thank you 👏🏼. My take away are focusing on how the child experiences the world, meeting them where they are at & what needs to change in their environment #edpsychs

Great session on dynamic assessment @edpsydan.bsky.social @edpsy.bsky.social delivered by Fraser Lauchlan … really reignited my spark for it 🧩✨ such a friendly and accessible session nice to see familiar faces too including half the year 1 TEPS at Sheffield 😆 #edpsychs

This is so helpful I seen a TA work beautifully with a little person today who’s response is no to a lot of things - giving them space and autonomy to do it in there own time defo worked well
