In this episode, we explore what it truly means to become a Clinical Psychologist. From understanding the role and responsibilities, to the different career paths and challenges along the way. Joined by Dr. Lim Hooi Shan, we break down complex topics such as psychological assessments, what therapy really looks like, and how clinical psychology differs from fields like counselling, psychiatry, and social work.
We also dive into how these professions work together, the role of Clinical Psychologists beyond clinical settings (including corporate spaces), and what postgraduate programmes look for in aspiring candidates. Along the way, we reflect on important self-questions to consider when pursuing this path, as well as the emotional and personal challenges that may arise. Tune in for an insightful and honest conversation that sheds light into the realities of a career in Clinical Psychology.
