Jess: I'm from a deprived community where people had few educational opportunities. Be proud of your working-class roots and inherent inability to pronounce words or keep yourself from swearing!
Also Jess: Taking the piss out of someone for a misspelling/typo

Typical Jessica. "My audio book is a number one best seller on audible"
The detail that gives this context and authenticity, that Jessica will never say: it's number 1 in Cultural History Biographies, which is pretty niche.
I'm going to hazard a guess it's nowhere near #1 overall, but people will think it is, and that's what she wants them to think, of course.
So much of what she says fits into this category. It makes her sound good, while leaving plausible deniability. "I never said it was #1 overall / I never said I was a clinical psychologist / forensic psychologist / full time mother / in academia currently etc etc."
Smoke and mirrors.
(Although she *did* say to me in person that she's a forensic psychologist some years ago, but as it was just the two of us in the conversation, I can't prove it).

What is she on about? 'Manc accent'. She sounds nothing like a Manc!

That R4 interview might make working class/disadvantaged students consider if they would be discriminated at her Alma Mater. Maybe such students should contact Birmingham to discover if classism is a problem. Birmingham Unil might need to grasp the nettle & respond to these nationally discussed inferences around her PhD time there.
It would be good if someone from there would respond with the truth.
I’m council estate background and I work with many that have come from similar backgrounds who have PhD’s, medical degrees and more, mostly from the same Uni as her. I manage people with more qualifications than JT.
How about Jaimi? She went to UoB too and comes from a very working class area, with a single parent mother. UoB requires high grades to get into, Perhaps Jaimi is everything JT claims to be?

Guaranteed Jess has pinched bits of Jaimi's life for her own use.
I can't believe how blatantly she misrepresents her 'professional' experience.
Her saying she has a 'PHD in Forensic Psychology' implies she is a clinical forensic psychologist, as in, someone with a doctorate (DClinPsych) who has been trained by the NHS. Someone who had registered professionals supervising their training.
It's line someone who studied heath and social care saying they are a qualified and registered nurse

She posted a whiny rant once about “you don’t get to tell me my PhD isn’t in forensic psychology!!!” Just because she didn’t take a doctorate in forensic psychology. Jess: your PhD isn’t in the theory or practice of forensic psychology. Therefore YOU DO NOT HAVE A PHD IN FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY
She apparently thinks she should be considered to have a PhD in forensic psychology because her thesis was about victim blaming which is sort of related. My brother in law has a law degree with one module in criminology, does that mean he actually has a degree in criminology and is just as qualified in the subject as an experienced criminologist? Lolnope

What actually is her PhD? I know it’s not a clinical forensic psych one.
PhD Thesis in Victim Blaming. Completed under Centre for Forensic and Criminal Psychology.

So, it's a general research PhD in psychology with a thesis completed under that school? It doesn't qualify her to register with the HCPC as a forensic psychologist which is why she isn't allowed to use the title. Nor does a single piece of doctorate research come close to the content of a doctorate in forensic psychology - which like the DClinPsy includes work placements and a heavy taught component
She keeps saying "I chose not to do a DClinPsy or a ForenPsyD! It's MY CHOICE! I knew the PhD was just the beginning of my professional development!" OK then, so why are you obscuring the fact that you are a research/academic psychologist? It was your choice to be one, right?

I’m aware it’s only academic. I was wondering if I’d missed the the wasn’t part of the forensic psych school. It is. I’m not sure it’s necessarily wrong in that she says PhD in forensic psych? Just a play on reality

You understand this far better than I do! Although yeah, it seems very strange that she says she is proud of her PhD and it was her choice to take it rather than a DClinPsy/ForenPsyD, but tries to give the impression that she is a clinical and/or forensic psychologist. There's nothing wrong with being a research psychologist so why not embrace it?

She can say she has a PhD in Forensic Psychology, she just can't say that she's a forensic psychologist

I wonder if it’s the supervised practice that she didn’t want to do?
There’s nothing wrong at all with being qualified as a researcher but it doesn’t fit with the grift. She needs to pretend she’s got loads of practical experience.
