Dr Claire Scothern
Clinical Psychologist, part time writer, people person and mother. Passionate about sharing psychological science with human beings.
Hello and welcome to my blog! I am passionate about sharing my thoughts with you and there is usually a psychological angle to them because of what I do for a living.
I am based in the North of England and have worked in mental health services for almost 20 years and I have been a qualified Clinical Psychologist since 2003. If people are struggling then therapy is a good option but it is not for everyone. I am keen to pass on some evidence- based advice in the meantime where possible and make the science of psychology accessible to us all.
My professional credentials are available via LinkedIn and I am registered both with the Health Professions Council and British Psychological Society I am currently working in the NHS with young people and their families in crisis as well as in private practice.
In terms of life I am a part time writer, people person and mother. Travel, cooking and trying to exercise and be healthy are all priorities for me. Quality friendships keep me afloat as does the odd glass of red wine.
Warm wishes
