A guide for those who think deeply, care deeply, and want to bring that same authenticity and confidence into every psychology interview.

Built from real-world experience and research-backed strategies, this book goes beyond question banks and model answers.

Inside, you’ll find over 250 real psychology interview questions and 150 pages of raw, real-world preparation notes, created and shared by myself (Founder of MindDhara) and other Assistant Psychologists. These are the very tools and reflections we used to secure our AP and other psychology roles.

It teaches you how to think like a reflective practitioner, communicate with authenticity, and align your professional identity with the values and expectations of psychology services in the NHS, academia, and beyond.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A clear roadmap for understanding what psychology interview panels truly assess.

• Practical frameworks (STAR, EAR, and CARE) to structure answers with confidence and precision.

• Guidance on preparing answers that connect your experience, theory, and personal reflection.

• Strategies for self and peer mock interviews, including AI-assisted tools with ethical use tips.

• Advice for post-interview reflection: how to seek feedback, learn from setbacks, and build resilience.

• Long-term growth insights, including supervision, CPD, and maintaining empathy without burnout.

Whether you’re preparing for roles such as Assistant Psychologist, Research Assistant, PWP, Support Worker, Associate, Therapy Assistant, or clinical training, this guide helps you stand out as a candidate, while developing into a confident, reflective, and skilled clinician or researcher.
