Introducing myself

Dr Claire Morrish DClinPsych

I was brought up in London and enjoyed a successful career as teacher and pastoral manager before taking a degree in Psychology and re-training as a clinical psychologist in 2007. Both as a teacher and as a psychologist I have been committed to looking after the emotional and social well-being of those I work with.

I worked in the NHS for a number of years in a variety of adult mental health settings, including community mental health teams (CMHT) and acute care settings. My experience with young people and with adults in psychological services means I am happy to work across the age range. My most recent post, which I left in Jan 2020, was Lead Psychologist in Adult Mental Health community services in Doncaster.
