Research apprentice
09-2015 - 04-2016 I worked alongside a registered clinical psychologist on a study titled ‘An investigation into mindful traits among non-eating and eating disordered individuals’.
I have developed a good knowledge about standards of professional psychological research in the area of clinical psychology and I am able to critically reflect on the importance of these standards when conducting research. I also developed a strong grasp of organisational and managerial requirements in relation to professional psychological research settings. In addition, I have an in-depth knowledge about ethical standards and procedures to safeguard them.
