Stories Unspoken: Mental Health Memoirs in Clinical Psychology Training

During my own clinical training, I experienced mental health challenges and often felt isolated and unsure of where to turn for support. Over the past decade, I’ve continued to hear from trainees struggling with similar and different issues, highlighting how common and yet unspoken, these experiences are. This has inspired me to reach out to Clinical and Counselling Psychologists to share their accounts of mental health experiences whilst I training. I aim to collate and edit these stories to produce a book for future trainees to turn to.

Stories Unspoken aims to normalise the mental health challenges encountered during clinical psychology training. By sharing authentic accounts from qualified clinical psychologists, the book will foster understanding, connection, and hope for current and future trainees navigating this path.
