Kimberley Wilson is a Chartered Psychologist, qualified Nutritionist, and a finalist on the Great British Bake Off. On a mission to demystify common psychological theories, Kimberley tackles several complex topics relating to nutrition and mental health on her social media and through her media and consulting work. Firmly believing that mental and physical health are interlinked, she uses a whole-body mental health approach to address mental health care.

Showcasing phenomenal acumen, she has held several notable positions, including Governor of The Tavistock and Portman NHS Mental Health Trust. Kimberley was also formerly the Chair of the British Psychological Society’s Training Committee in Counselling Psychology, and she led therapy services at HMP and YOI Holloway - at one point this was the largest women’s prison in Europe.

Believing in the power of psychology to transform lives, Kimberley disseminates this message as the host of the Made of Stronger Stuff podcast, which is broadcast on BBC Radio 4. On the podcast, alongside Dr Xand van Tulleken, she explores different parts of the human body in detail, examining how a better understanding of how the body works can foster positive change.
