Kimberley Wilson is a Chartered Psychologist, qualified Nutritionist and author, widely recognised for her innovative whole-body approach to mental health. A finalist on the Great British Bake Off, she has since become a familiar voice in the media, combining science, compassion and clarity to demystify complex psychological and nutritional concepts. Kimberley is an in-demand speaker for organisations seeking to better understand the relationship between mental and physical health, offering engaging, evidence-based insights that inspire meaningful change in individuals and workplaces alike.
Kimberley’s career began with a degree in nutrition before she trained as a psychologist, developing a unique expertise at the intersection of food and mental health. She took on significant leadership positions early, including serving as Operational Lead at HMP & YOI Holloway, then the largest women’s prison in Europe. From there, she became Chair of the British Psychological Society’s Training Committee in Counselling Psychology, later leading therapy services within the North London Eating Disorders Group and working as a psychologist with The House Partnership. Her early career established her as a thoughtful, practical professional deeply committed to improving access to high-quality mental health care.
Building on this foundation, Kimberley has held a series of high-profile roles, including Governor of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Mental Health Trust, Visiting Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, and founder of her own practice, Monumental Health. Alongside her clinical and academic work, she has built a strong public presence. She is the host of the BBC Radio 4 podcast Made of Stronger Stuff, author of the book How to Build a Healthy Brain, and a regular commentator on television, including appearances on ITV’s Lorraine and Channel 4 documentaries. Her writing has been featured in Vogue, PSYCHE, BBC Science Focus Magazine and The British Psychological Society, further cementing her reputation as a leading voice on mental health.
Kimberley is hired as a speaker because she combines authority with accessibility, translating complex research into practical, relatable messages. She speaks powerfully on topics such as disordered eating, the gut-brain axis and our emotional relationship with food, all framed by her belief in the inextricable link between mind and body. Audiences leave her sessions both informed and empowered, ready to adopt healthier approaches to wellbeing in their own lives and organisations.
