      I did my first degree at the University of Cambridge – it was a Natural Sciences degree, with the third year specialising in Psychology.

      My postgraduate degree in Clinical Psychology was at the University of Surrey.

      I did my undergraduate degree with The Open University, which I did part time and online. I then did a masters degree at University of Westminster. I am now just finishing my PhD which I am doing at City, University of London.

      Depending on which area of psychology you want to work in, the training and qualifications you need to do differ. Some areas you will need to do doctoral training, but others you do not need to.
