Student Mentorship

Mentoring for Psychology Students & Master’s Applicants

These mentoring sessions are designed for psychology students and early-career practitioners who are preparing for postgraduate training or navigating the early stages of professional development.

A key focus of this offering is supporting students through the Master’s application and interview process. Mentoring provides a reflective, realistic space to think through what selection panels are often assessing — beyond academic performance — including emotional insight, self-awareness, ethical thinking, and readiness for clinical training.

What Sessions May Include

• Preparing for Master’s interviews and understanding what interview panels typically look for
• Identifying personal strengths, vulnerabilities, and areas for growth as a developing clinician
• Reflecting on motivation for training and fit for different psychology programmes
• Making sense of feedback, rejections, and setbacks within competitive selection processes
• Exploring clinical identity, boundaries, and emotional readiness for therapeutic work
• Navigating self-doubt, comparison, and performance anxiety during applications

Our Approach

These sessions are not mock interviews or coaching in scripted answers, but thoughtful conversations aimed at helping students speak honestly, coherently, and responsibly about who they are and how they are developing within the field.

My approach to mentoring is relational, direct, and grounded in lived clinical experience. The aim is not to help students “perform well,” but to support clarity, integrity, and psychological readiness — qualities that matter both in interviews and in long-term clinical work.

Mentoring sessions are offered individually and are suitable for Honours-level students, Master’s applicants, and early-career practitioners seeking guidance outside of formal supervision or therapy.
