About the Expert

Dr Jacquie Hetherton has over 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist. She has worked a clinician, a lecturer at the University of London and as an expert witness – the latter for 17 years. She combines compassion in assessments, with an enquiring mind and enjoys the independent, impartial approach demanded of an expert witness, the aim always being to establish the truth.

She grew up in Oxford and left a career in publishing at Oxford University Press to pursue psychology. She obtained a first class degree at University College, London and then a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at The University of Birmingham. Following that she returned to her beloved London where she has been based ever since.

When not working, she enjoys the arts (cinema, theatre, music) but her favourite pass time of all is travel. She has backpacked around the world, driven across the US, lived abroad as a student, and gets away as often as she can. Seeing how other people live is an endless source of fascination. Having Irish parents mean she is a proud and grateful owner of an Irish passport and she hopes to live in the Mediterranean at some point in the future.

She is passionate about psychology and from the start of her training has felt that psychological knowledge, much of which is very accessible and useful, should be made available to the public at large, rather than only being available via therapy. To that end, she is currently working on a project designed to bring mental health knowledge to the masses – watch this space!
