I have assessed stroke survivors who have real profound psychological and physical disabilities post-stroke. The most difficult part for me is feeling frustrated for them, and feeling sad because they sometimes can be.

I don’t work with patients, but most of my research has involved asking children to complete assessments of their abilities, which is a lot of fun but can also be challenging. Keeping them engaged can sometimes be difficult, especially for the more boring tasks. I am often under pressure to complete the tasks with them within a certain timeframe which can also be stressful sometimes.

I assess young children with learning difficulties. One of the most difficult aspects is the fact that different learning difficulties have similar behavioural outcomes that may be linked to different conditions. For example, some autistic children can experience attention difficulties, so then the question is whether these attention difficulties are part of their autism or whether the child in question has additional difficulties, for example ADHD as conditions can co-occur.

I don’t work directly with patients. There are a lot of psychologists who work in academia conducting research. This is vital as without the research we won’t have good evidence based strategies our colleagues can use when working with clients, and they may use approaches and techniques that aren’t beneficial or are even harmful.
