Student on Child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy (M80)
“I chose to train at the Tavistock and Portman due to the rich psychoanalytical history and breadth of teaching and supervision I would have access to. I particularly enjoy the case discussions and small supervision groups with my colleagues where we can apply theory to our clinical experience. There are a variety of specialist workshops I can attend over the 4 years which has meant I have been able to tailor my training to my interests alongside my clinical requirements. The number of reflective spaces the Trust holds throughout the year allows you to meet colleagues in different teams and disciplines. The willingness to think and be reflective in the Trust really aids your learning. If you’re considering applying to train at The Tavistock and Portman, the advice I would offer is to do your research and visit open days, ask as many questions about the courses as you can. It’s also important to keep in mind that working in the mental health / emotional wellbeing sector also means that you have to adapt expectations to meet the needs of the individuals you are working with. The training has had an impact on all areas of my life – it is hard but also really rewarding. It has made me a more open, thoughtful and curious person as well as therapist.”
