The Learning hub
“For 22 years, I had to turn people away from NHS services because they didn’t meet clinical thresholds. They were not sick enough. But they needed the same tools I taught in therapy – the same frameworks I used with diagnosed clients.”
Evidence-based psychology. No diagnosis required.
No 18-month waitlist. No gatekeeping.
Our Learning Hub:
1. Connects people through community. We create resources that bring people together around shared challenges.
2. Champions accessibility. We don’t lock our tools behind arbitrary thresholds – anyone can access them.
3. Creates tools you can actually use. Our evidence-based techniques can be applied immediately.
Whether you’re managing mental health independently, navigating a child’s diagnosis or building a career in psychology – the Learning Hub gives you what you need, when you need it.
Newsletter: An Affiniti for Psychology
Nuance in a world of noise
Our Substack is where clinical psychology meets real life — written and presented by the Affiniti+ team.
We publish long-form articles and series on the psychology of everyday life, alongside our Podnotes. No top tips. No quick fixes. Just thoughtful writing that treats you like an intelligent adult.
Recent published series
-
Your mind is not broken. It is doing exactly what it evolved to do — in a world it was not designed for. Six articles on the psychology of how we actually think, feel and behave: the negativity bias, rumination, avoidance, self-criticism, ambivalence and the patterns of the past that keep arriving uninvited into the present.
-
Agency is not a mindset. It is a capacity shaped by the conditions you were born into, the resources available to you and the systems you have to navigate. This series examines what agency actually is, what erodes it and — within real structural limits — what remains possible.
-
What draws someone to clinical psychology, what the training demands of them and what the work does to a person over the course of a career. Six articles tracing the journey from aspiring applicant to qualified practitioner — written for anyone who has ever sat across from a psychologist and wondered what brought them to that chair.

Podnotes
Our first Podnotes series is So You Want To Be A Psychologist — and it does exactly what it says.
Five episodes. No glossy prospectus version. Just honest, practical guidance on the realities of a career in clinical psychology — from A-levels to qualified — from people who have lived it themselves. This is the information university tutors don’t share.
Dr Anindita Sarkar, Affiniti+ founder and consultant clinical psychologist is interviewed by Zara Tandy, our assistant psychologist — who has navigated this path herself.
Watch on Substack and YouTube, or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music.
