The Assistant Psychologist Application Workbook
A note from me
I spent a long time building this because I wanted it to be the resource I wish I'd had when I was going through this process myself. Every module and worksheet has been thought through carefully, drawing on what I know from working with AP applicants directly: where people get stuck, what panels are actually looking for, and what separates the applications that get shortlisted from the ones that don't.
This isn't a PDF you open once and forget about. It's a working tool and something you can return to for every role you apply to, that gets faster and easier to use each time.
At £47, I've kept the price deliberately accessible. I know what it's like to be at this stage of your career. You want to invest in yourself, but you're not in a position to spend hundreds on coaching. This workbook gives you the structure, frameworks, and practical guidance that would normally take hours of 1:1 support to piece together, in a format you can work through at your own pace. The value is genuinely there. I wouldn't put my name on it if it wasn't.
What's Included?
✅ A structured self-audit to help you honestly assess where your experience stands, identify the roles that are the right fit for your profile right now, and understand what — if anything — to address before you start applying.
✅ A step-by-step CV framework, including a built-in Achievement Statements database to help you articulate your skills and experiences clearly organised by role, so you can draw on the right examples for every application.
✅ Guided supporting statement worksheets, including a person spec mapping tool that helps you systematically match your experience to each criterion, and a structured template that walks you through every section of your statement paragraph by paragraph.
✅ An annotated example supporting statement to help you understand what good looks like in terms of structure, tone, and how to address a person spec so you're not writing from a blank page.
✅ A complete interview preparation suite, including a research framework, answer structure guides (STAR, CAR, 3 points), a reflective cycle exercise to help you develop a polished example, and a bank of 16 common AP interview questions, drawn from real panels and categorised by theme to practice with.
✅ A final review and planning module to help you consolidate what you've built, create a realistic next-steps plan, and approach any future applications with more clarity and less anxiety.
✅ Immediate Notion access — the workbook is delivered as a ready-to-use Notion template with 1-4 worksheets per module. Duplicate it to your own workspace and work through it at your own pace, returning to each module as you need it.

FAQ
-
Yes — the workbook is delivered as a Notion template, so you'll need a free Notion account to use it. Notion is free to sign up for and the free plan is more than enough. If you've never used Notion before, it's straightforward to get started; the workbook is designed to be self-contained and you won't need any prior experience with the platform.
-
es. The self-audit module at the start is specifically designed to help you understand where you stand right now — including whether there are gaps worth addressing before you start applying. The workbook meets you where you are, whether you're applying for your first AP role or your fifth.
-
Absolutely and it's designed for exactly that. Module 05 includes a dedicated tailoring guide that walks you through what to update for each new role and what can stay the same, so subsequent applications take a fraction of the time.
-
The workbook is primarily written with NHS AP roles in mind, but the frameworks, CV guidance, and supporting statement structure are transferable to third sector, research, and private sector AP-style roles. The person spec mapping tool works with any job description.
-
Working through all five modules from scratch typically takes a few hours in total, but the workbook isn't designed to be completed in one sitting. Most people work through one module at a time as their application develops, and return to sections as needed.
-
No, this is a self-guided workbook, not a coaching or feedback service. If you want personalised written feedback or a mock interview, that's available separately through a 1:1 session. You can find details here.
-
