Having studied Psychology at the University of Hull in the early 2000s (graduating with a First-Class Honours Degree), I successfully obtained a place on the Hull Clinical Psychology Doctorate and thereafter qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2009.
As a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, I worked in secondary mental health services in the NHS in Hull and Grimsby, initially with adults and later with children and young people in the care system. My NHS work focused on assessment and therapy for trauma and complex trauma. I held senior positions in both adult and child services, including a clinical lead position in my last NHS post.
I founded Claire Wilson Consulting Ltd in 2012, initially alongside my NHS work. Since 2019, I have been in full-time independent practice, providing psychological assessment and therapy – particularly for trauma-related presentations – for self-funding clients, as well as those referred via case-managers or solicitors in a rehabilitation context.
