I just got the results back for my viva (oral exam + 5k assignment) and my research proposal (dissertation plan). Smashed them both! Officially a qualified psychotherapist. Feels ****ing great. Ofc i'll still do the last year of my MA next year, but if i wanted to i could set up a private practice today which is a really bizarre concept haha

Congrats Ben! Amazing news.
