As a clinical psychologist, my role is to support people with complex mental health difficulties within the community.

The work is really varied: patient therapy, staff training and using research skills to evaluate our service. I'm still quite new in the job, and it’s challenging at times, but I absolutely know that I've chosen the right career.

I knew it would be a long road to reach where I am.

Clinical psychology is competitive with academic and work experience hurdles along the way. But I didn’t let this put me off – I thought, well let’s just see what happens.

I now work in Bradford, where I’m from originally.
