The ClassClinPsych Podcast aims to shine a light on the role of class in clinical psychology. In these episodes, we will be talking to various people in the psychological professions and other allied fields to learn how class has shaped them personally and professionally. We hope these conversations give voice, provoke thought, and promote change in relation to class in clinical psychology.

Matthew talks about his social identities of being a brown working class man from Stoke-on-Trent. He offers reflections on the 5 P's formulation, Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), and the Social Graces Model. Matthew also talks about his route into clinical psychology, and reflects on areas of privileges, and areas of disadvantages. He also shared his research on mental health professionals responses to social detriments in mental health services. At the time of this recording, Matthew was working as a Clinical Psychologist after training on the Liverpool DClin programme.
