Client Types I avoid seeing as a Psychologist 🚫

Did you know that psychologists often specialise working with specific client groups? Every psychologist has their preference for what clients they see. Over the last two years of my training (and decade of work experience), I've helped a diverse range of people. I find all client groups fascinating and wonderful to work with, however there are some client groups I avoid seeing for certain reasons that I'll unpack in this video.

Quick Disclaimer
There are no "good" or "bad" client groups - it's a privilege to do this important work with clients, no matter what the problem is. However, since psychologists often specialise when they find their niche, this means there are groups of clients they choose to specifically work with and groups they do not see.

The field of psychology is extremely broad and there are so many areas to specialise in. But this is why it's also an incredibly rewarding and exciting field to work in. If you're studying psychology or if you're just curious about this profession, use this video as a guide to get a better sense of what 'behind the scenes' really looks like.

Have a question or want to share a reflection? I'm always open to learning, so please do leave your feedback down below.

🙋🏻‍♀️ WHO AM I?
I'm Kathleen (or Kate), a video maker, youtuber and provisional psychologist working in Sydney. I make videos about the journey towards becoming a registered psychologist in Australia, strategies to enhance your mental health and stories that have made up my own life, which you'll either find helpful or entertaining 😉

Some things I'm passionate about are community and connection. In Sydney I host a weekly walking group that brings together strangers, who hopefully leave as friends. Please join us on our next walk if you're visiting Sydney or if you're new to the area ✌️
