Why Clinical Psychology is SO HARD: A Week in My Life as a Psych Student

Ever wondered what it’s REALLY like to study a Master’s in Clinical Psychology? In this vlog, I take you through a week in my life as a clinical psychology student, sharing the biggest challenge of the program—balancing coursework, a job, and clinical placements.

🎓 What makes the clinical psychology master’s so hard?
Many people assume the hardest part is the complex theories or clinical skills. And while there is a lot to learn, what makes the clinical master's program difficult is the sheer amount of responsibility—staying on top of coursework, preparing for clinical placements, working part-time, and managing a life outside of study. In this video, I give you a real, unfiltered look at the daily struggles of a psych master's student.
