Hi Holly, I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you've put into this channel. It was my 5th time applying this year and I was getting to the point where I was considering giving up. This year, I had 1 confirmed interview (I got placed on the reserve list at no. 50). I then had 2 reserve interviews which both became interviews less than a week before. I got a no from the first one and then on Friday I found out I got a place at the last! I have watched so many of your videos over the last few years, and found hope particularly from you sharing your journey with having applied numerous times and your discussions around it being the system, not us. Thank you for still finding the time to make these videos on top of training! I watched this video the day before my last interview which I think helped get my head in gear and perform on the day 😊

EMILY! Thank you so much for following and the lovely words! MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS on getting a place! So so thrilled for you!!! Wishing you the best of luck! x

Hi Holly. I’ve watched a couple of your videos and have just purchased your handbook. I’m prepping for interviews and your videos have been amazingly helpful. Thank you!

[@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK]

Thanks so much! So glad to hear it! Best of luck!

Hi Holly, I have watched a few of your videos and they are so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing these! I am an international applicant and I got my first job as a support worker 6 months ago. I am still trying very hard to get into NHS and I have got some interviews. Congrats on getting Dclinpsy! in the first video I watched you were still AP and I am happy for you that you have achieved so much:）

[@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK]

Thank you so much!! That’s really kind! Keep going - well done!! 💜

Brilliant - so pleased! Best of luck ☺️

@@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK gutted I didn't get a place. :( I think the rejection after an interview is so much more disheartening. You feel like it will never happen.

Very helpful video ..

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Hi Holly, any tips on how to formulate in a timed interview setting, what are the key things to talk about etc. - ive got an interview at Oxford :)

[@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK]

Congratulations! I would say to have a structure to how you’re going to answer the question so take some time to plan your answer :)

[@qistnh]

Hi Holly! Which reflective models do you recommend for Dclinpsy interview especially view case studies? Also, how do you link in the case formulation? do you do it under analysis part?

[@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK]

Heyy thanks for your comment! I like the ‘what? So what? Now what?’ Structure to answers :) in terms of the formulation - it really depends on the question :) I’d try not to shoehorn too much structure in as I think it can take you away from answering the question. A loose structure of 2-3 points and an ending is nice and flexible :)

Any free online support is available??

[@ClinicalPsychologyCommunityUK]

Hiya - all our KZbin vids are free and if you email me, I can give you those resources for free.
