Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Anyone have suggestions for picking a research project for their doctoral thesis? Feel like I have too many interests haha #EdPsychs 000
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Hope it's not a bad omen that I've started my TEP journey with a cold and a fever #EdPsychs 020
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Last few days before I start the doctorate course and I don't know what to do with myself. Definitely coming down with something though, great timing. #EdPsychs 000
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 11/08/2025And just like that it's suddenly my last few days at work in England before moving back to Ireland to start the Doctorate in Child and Educational Psychology. To say it's a bag of mixed emotions is an understatement. Don't know where the time has gone. #EdPsych 140
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Enjoyed some time on the Yorkshire coast yesterday for some respite from the heat ☀️☀️☀️ 010
Reposted by KateWakefield Educational Psychology Service @wakefieldeps.bsky.social · 10/07/2025What a fabulous day we have had with a lot of our ELSAs at our conference today. We wanted to shine a light on them and the amazing work they do throughout Wakefield and to remind them of how amazing, strong, and skilled they are. Real life everyday heros!! #EdPsychs #ELSAConference2025 042

Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Lovely way to spend my afternoon listening to the amazing @drlisacherry.bsky.social talk about trauma informed practice #EdPsychs 141
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Still in complete shock, but so happy to share that I will be moving back to Ireland and starting as a Trainee Educational and Child Psychologist in September!!!! #EdPsychs 1100
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Sunshine, walking, and good company. I might be working over the Easter holidays, but excited to work at a slower pace over the next two weeks #EdPsychs 050
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Would love to know more about education psychologists stance/view on the current 24 hour sleep out at Leinster House around the lack of suitable school spaces available in Ireland currently #EdPsych #EdChatIE 020
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Any suggestions on how to deal with professional burnout successfully?

Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Back to the drawing board I guess. Any suggestions on how to evaluate my personal statement or interview is much appreciated #edpsychsmedia.tenor.coma bald man wearing a plaid shirt and a vest is looking at the camera with his hands on his hipsALT: a bald man wearing a plaid shirt and a vest is looking at the camera with his hands on his hips 250
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Really looking forward to joining #PositivITEA later today. I feel like I'm in real need of having the space to explore gratitude with @viola-jane.bsky.social. I feel we get so caught up on the interview process and focusing on the failures that we forget the positive side of the process. #EdPsychs 170
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Volunteering for a bereavement charity once a week is a nice weekly reset and reminder of why I do my job. Made a mother quite emotional explaining this theory earlier. Always resonates with me #edpsychs 13710

Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Really enjoying the spring feel that is in the air today. A nice, wholesome Sunday filled with baking and daffodils ☀️☀️ 000
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 29/01/2025I normally have a pretty decent level of resilience, but after getting a no from my preferred university for the doctorate I am now questioning staying in this field. I know I can do the job, but there's only so much rejection you can take #edpsychs 7130
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 27/01/2025So excited to start reading all about relational practice, especially after joining the workshops on Friday! #edpsychs 072
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Excited to finish the week by joining the Relational Practice: Approaches to Mental Health and Well-being in Schools book launch hosted by University of Sheffield and all the amazing workshops being delivered today, plus listening to some of my colleagues speak about their amazing work #edpsychs 0123
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Heard back from 2 out of 3 universities so far for the Doctorate. Somehow I manage to forget just how brutal this time of year is for those of us applying for a spot on the course. Something needs to change, I don't know how but something needs to give #edpsychs 190
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Very excited and nervous about the week ahead. It's Day 1 of training our newest ELSA cohort on Tuesday, lots of school work, and anxious waiting to hear back from universities #edpsychs 070
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Had a lovely but sad interaction with a young person today, who sat back in shock after I remembered their favourite hobby that she had told me in our previous session.By showing that I listened to her and shared a real interest in her life completely changed the trajectory of our session. #edpsychs 0100
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I love my job, but very ready for some fresh, Irish wind in my face. I know I'll be there 5mins and complain about it, but I love it really #edpsychs 010
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Been given the task of creating a one page profile style sheet about Educational Psychologists and the work we might do with a young person for the local authority I work in. Any #edpsychs have some examples I can use for inspiration? 142
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The one annoying thing about working in schools, you get all the germs the kids are spreading 🤧🤧 it is a working from bed kinda day #edpsychs 020
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Loved spending some time with a Year 3 boy this morning who told me my fear of rollercoasters was silly because the gravitational force would hold me in my seat 😂😂 #edpsychs 000
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 26/10/2024Another year, another application for the Doctorate of Educational Psychology submitted. Third time's the charm maybe. 280
Kate @katetep.bsky.social · 13/09/2024What an inspirational session listening to Chris Bagley's research work. Just wow 🤯🤯 #PositiviTEA 140
