Amanda, thanks for taking part in this Q&A. Please tell us a little about your career and how it started.

I am a Chartered Occupational Psychologist and have worked in Occupational Psychology for coming up to 11 years. My career has been quite structured to date and I have sought out opportunities that have given me experience in both the public and private sector, as I knew this would benefit me when I decided to go freelance and set up on my own as a freelance Chartered Occupational Psychologist.

When did you first realise you were interested in Psychology?

I knew that I wanted to explore Psychology as a career after studying A-Level Psychology whilst at Sixth Form College, it was quite a new subject and few schools/colleges were offering it, so I actually left my comprehensive school after my GCSEs to study at York Sixth Form College who offered this course.
