Side note: There are lots of FREE webinars and FREE MENTORSHIPS that will or are available mostly advertised through the facebook doctorate support group. Please do NOT feel obliged to pay the British Psychological Society 80£ for a webinar or where there are free, equally valuable resources out there. I am not against paid services of course, having been an undergrad/master's tutor myself, and it is ultimately up to you, but just to let you know that there are MANY free options for those who cannot afford paid options.

Thank you for sharing your insight into the application process! I want to include a reflection on how my personal experience with mental illness has impacted my values etc. Which section would you recommend including this in?

Either main section or extra section! Whichever you feel like it fits best

Hey Aika. Can international students one who have just done masters in UK and not Undergraduate get NHS funding for their Psych.D ? As self funded option is way too expensive for international students.
