I can’t believe I get to say this, but I’M GOING TO BE A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST 🎉 Dr West - 2025!!!

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

@jason712 @AngharadJ5 It’s a shame it can’t be backdated, seeing as you’ll be in your B7 role.

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

Hey, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Dr Tabitha West - HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist 😳🎉 When will this sink in?! 😆

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

@jason712 Thanks Jason! Oh gosh really?! I’ve not heard anything from other courses but assumed they would all aim to send at the end of the course itself. I’m sorry you’ll be waiting that bit longer!

And suddenly it’s the final day of the DClinPsy 😳 #dclinpsy #2022cohort

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

Yesterday I completed my 6th and FINAL placement of training in Stroke Psychology. I have loved every minute of my time there and feel so fortunate to be returning to the same wonderful department and field I’m so passionate about in 3 weeks as Dr Tabitha West! #dclinpsy

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

I am over the moon to finally be able to say that my thesis amendments have been accepted 🥹 All that’s left of training is a week of my wonderful final placement, and two final teaching days to close this three-year long chapter! #dclinpsy

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

I realised in the middle of supervision today that it was my final ever supervision as a Trainee Clinical Psychologist 🤯 #dclinpsy

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

@Sophiekpsych Congratulations Sophie! We are nearly there 🩷🩷

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

In just 4 weeks I’ll have finished the DClinPsy and be in Greece to celebrate, before starting as Dr Tabitha in my dream role as a Clinical Psychologist in stroke services. Grateful is an understatement. Relieved and exhausted are also understatements 😆

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

I resubmitted my thesis with amendments today. Please can we manifest that they are accepted? 🤞🏻🔮 #dclinpsy

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

@Sophiekpsych Congratulations Sophie! So so proud of you 🎉🥳

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

Viva, passed! Dr West in T-2 months 🎉🍾

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

It’s viva in an hour 😳🤢

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

Oh blimey the day before viva nerves are rather cruel aren’t they

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

@ZoeVx This is very helpful! I cannot believe how many typos or formatting errors I have noticed since reading it through again! Fresher eyes noticing what I had missed before submission, I suppose! Thanks so much!

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

I have taken the next 3 days off to prep for my viva on Friday. If anybody has any words of viva prep wisdom, please send them my way 😅 #dclinpsy #vivavoce

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

@JCallenDavies Oh I’m so pleased you had a positive viva experience, Jazz. Well done! I’ll message you.

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

This time next week I’ll be mid-viva and the anxiety has hit rather prematurely 😅

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

Yesterday was our #DClinPsy research conference. It was such a pleasure to be there to support my cohort present the projects they have all worked so hard on for the last 3 years. I am feeling very proud of everybody in Cohort 2022!

[Dr Tabitha West @TabithaPsych]

That’s 6/6 mid-placement reviews, complete ✅ It genuinely feels like yesterday I was going into my first MPR, anxious and uncertain as to what it would be like! #dclinpsy
