UCL / KCL / LSE / Imperial / QMUL are universities which are best suited to postgrads who also have busy careers. If you have a career, especially in law, engineering, science, banking or commerce (especially in the City of London), you need you post-grad research to be supervised by someone who currently has or has had a successful career in industry themselves, not some academic who's life moves at a glacial pace and spends inordinate amounts of time drinking tea, publishing papers no one will ever read and is totally devoid of any practical, marketable skills. In short, the top London Universities are great for working adults rather than kids just trying to bluster their way through undergrad exams. Whenever I've approached a potential supervisor, I've always gravitated to people who have had successful careers outside of academia.

Great video Francis! There will always be an audience for DClin related videos, it must be hard enough keeping on top of the course without making videos so it's absolutely okay to let KZfaq be a lower priority. I think it would be really interesting if you could do a mini series talking with trainees from different universities about the ethos of their course and how each university differs with the DClin - I appreciate that might get a bit repetitive if you spoke with people from every course but I think it would be cool to see a few examples of how the courses differ?

This is incredibly helpful, thank you. The roleplay element you described sounds incredibly tough. In session it can often be the last 20 minutes you finally touch on an actual issue… mad they expect skills in 10 minutes… The guest on a podcast is a good idea, the idea of role playing a personality reducing threat perception. Same idea with TV/Movie characters! For a while I was embodying House when I had a limp 😂. I think it’s natural for those high in empathy to replicate like this, sometimes with accents too.

Best not to overdo things. You are obviously very driven and working hard. I was wanting to ask advice: a person I know is finding it hard to get NHS treatment for their psychological problems. I have suggested they go private, as they can afford it. How should we assess the right person to consult? Perform quality control as it were?
@FrancisMadden
@FrancisMadden 29 күн бұрын
Thank you Keith - I think that's the problem with private therapy atm, it largely relies on word of mouth or taking a punt based on someone's website or a database. In the UK actual clinical psychologists are accredited by HCPC, and psychotherapists/counsellors by UKCP or BACP. They have databases of people but you're going off limited information

Hi Francis, I am a psych nurse turned medical writer, and it has long been my dream to do a DPhil at Oxford. I absolutely love your content, and think it's so important to hear about the fields of psychology and psychiatry. Please don't try to be perfect. Just rest assured that no matter how often you post, people out here love your content. It's so different to the usual study tube due to its applied nature so please keep posting and focus on the parts you enjoy! X Emma

I've been noticing (?) your channel since last year. Maybe consider doing a comparison for UCL, Oxford, and Cambridge? Cause I did a Master's in UCL then got a job, most of my clients were from Oxbridge, I think this would be an intriguing topic. It might also be super attractive as few people have gone through all these Unis. That's one of your unfair advantages! Maybe something could light up the number if you care about the data haha

Could’ve told me Oxford was hard before I got my psych offer Francis. What a bummer! But seriously, I genuinely don’t think I could’ve done it without you. You are such an inspiration man, especially because you’re navigating problems that can be so relatable sometimes, like being overwhelmed or paralyzed by perfectionism. But I truly hope that you can make KZfaq into a vessel to release your wisdom and recent vibes into the world, without worrying too much about dropping a video so good it will be studied as a religion. We really do want you to enjoy making stuff, because we enjoy seeing your stuff. Anyways, I’ll be patrolling Radcliffe camera like an Elden ring npc so watch out. Much love 🫶
