About Brad
“Brad has an ambition to have a positive impact on as many people as possible. He is a 2nd year Trainee Clinical Psychologist, CBT Therapist and co-founder of ‘ThePsychologistCouple’ on Instagram. Prior to starting his Doctorate, he was named one of Bournemouth Universities 30 under 30. His route into clinical training was unique, from starting as a housekeeper in a nursing home, nearly failing his A-Levels, being elected as VP Welfare of the Students Union, to publishing his Masters dissertation, securing a Senior Assistant Psychologist strategy role and then being accepted on the Doctorate of Clinical Psychology”.
About this Podcast
Welcome to the 'Psychology Cast' where I talk to a range of guests and explore the Psychology in the work they do and what makes them who they are today. My name is Jolel , I am a Chartered Psychologist and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I started my career in Psychology in 2006 and I now use it to explain human behaviour to the people around me and how they can apply it in their daily lives. I would not change one bit of my journey because it brought me where I am today. It's changed the way I think about the world and has shaped me as a person.
