The Learning Hub
Evidence-based psychological tools. No diagnosis required. No 18-month waitlist. No gatekeeping.
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.
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.

Podnotes
So You Want To Be A Psychologist VisPod series provides insider guidance for those starting out on their psychology career.
No glossy prospectus version. Just honest, practical guidance from people who’ve lived it themselves. This is the information university tutors don’t share.
Podcasts are hosted by Dr Anindita Sarkar, Affiniti+ founder and consultant clinical psychologist, and Zara Tandy, our assistant psychologist – who has just navigated this path herself.
We’re building this with you, not for you.

shape the
Learning Hub
The Learning Hub exists because people told us what they needed – and the system wasn’t providing it.
We want to keep building it based on what’s actually missing, not what we assume people need.
Your feedback shapes what we create next.
