Nerd and trainee clinical psychologist (she/her) ✨
Pinned
Best introduce myself over here ✨ I’m a queer, disabled, final year trainee clin psych, interested in working systemically and with young people and families. I’m researching therapeutic applications of tabletop roleplaying. I love reading, gaming and musicals, oh and being by the sea ☺️
I’m about to qualify as a clinical psychologist and I have an idea for a therapeutic solo-TTRPG. I’m really interested in chatting to anyone who designs games like Koriko who may want to team up 🤔✨

Both project drafts are with my supervisors and the end of thesis write up might finally feel in sight 😴

Chatting to my tattooist about D&D counts towards my thesis work right? 👀
February 21, 2025 at 4:07 PM
Impulsively booked a new tattoo and I’m so excited, but also feel like it’s a very expensive procrastination from writing my thesis 😅

Thesis supervision is always so helpful and valuable ✨ less than two months to the deadline 🙃

Thank you to past Zoe for not finishing severance season one so I didn’t have to live with that cliffhanger before season 2 😅

I apologise for the person I become when the Witcher IV comes out… Ciri?! 😍

Glad it’s after I qualify so I won’t feel guilty for playing it in all my spare time 😂

12.5K of words for my 10k max project 1 thesis write up 🙃 excuse me whilst I hide away to edit and write up project 2 😴

Hard to remember what an achievement it is to have this done when there’s so much left to do, but trying to celebrate the small wins ✨

Haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet, but Dead Hot on Prime is brilliant and worth a watch!

TW: death, transphobia

Thinking of all the trans people let down by mental health services this Trans Day of Remembrance.

Suicide and homicide rates are devastatingly high for #trans people, especially autistic trans folk.

Mental health services have contributed by pathologising, not affirming🏳️‍⚧️.

All the evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing www.theguardian.com/environment/...
England’s national parks facing financial peril due to budget cuts, say CEOs
Leaders warn cost savings will lead to mass redundancies and that spaces could become ‘paper parks’

🚨 BREAKING: Over 1 in 3 kids in the UK are now living in poverty—the highest rate this century.

Nearly 1 in 4 people are in #poverty as deprivation soars to record levels.

Child poverty = lifelong ↑ risk of ill health, physical and mental.

We need an uplifting, fair social security system now.
