Abstract

As reflective practitioners, it is important to consider the relationship and interplay between personal and professional roles and experiences. Working as a trainee clinical psychologist on placement in an Intellectual Disability Service whilst parenting a child with additional learning needs has presented unique challenges, as well as opportunities for growth and development. In this article, I share some of my honest thoughts and reflections on the challenges and insights I have developed on this placement, the support mechanisms I have found most helpful throughout this time, as well as how this experience has shaped my hopes for the future.
