Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode: 21 with Dr Lucy JohnstoneThank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast. It was absolute pleasure to speak to Dr Lucy Johnstone within today’s episode of the podcast. She was ain inspiration and a great help to me as an aspiring psychologist. She does lots of work around formulation and helping psychologists understand the importance of it as a practice. Currently she is leading the charge to normalise formulation to be used in place of diagnoses which can be so harmful to many clients. I hope you will find the episode useful and thought provoking.
