Lived experience and peer support principles are assets to clinical psychology training: A reflection

This article argues that lived experience and peer support principles are valuable assets in clinical psychology training. This is illustrated through reflections on a placement integrating the dual lived experience and clinical psychology identities of a trainee exploring peer support options in a learning disability service, where these roles remain rare. This process is reflected upon through the lens of Intentional Peer Support (IPS) principles that emerged organically in both lived experience and clinical psychology supervision accessed during placement.
