Leeds Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
Welcome to the online home of the Leeds Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsychol). This site is designed to provide prospective applicants, current trainees, supervisors and stakeholders with comprehensive information about our programme, values and community. The clinical psychology training Programme in Leeds was established in 1965 and celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2025. It is one of the longer established Programmes in the UK.
Position Statement in relation to Supporting and Valuing Lived Experience
We aim to engender a safe, open, welcoming culture without judgement. We actively encourage everyone (staff, trainees, service users) to talk about their own mental health, recognising that mental health has a continuum that we are all on. We are all human and we all experience stress and distress. We believe “it’s OK not to be OK”. We value the sharing of experience: it’s how we support each other and learn together.
‘EVERYBODY’S VOICE…EVERYBODY BENEFITS’
