    I had so much trouble with recording this episode, so apologies for any differences in sound quality this week! In this episode I check in on what a Clinical Psychologist actually does as part of their role. This is not an extensive list, as different jobs will require you to do different things, however this is what most will do within their time practising as a clinician.
