Emma Hepburn

Dr Emma Hepburn is a clinical psychologist who has worked in a range of settings including with adults, clinical health, neuropsychology, child and maternity. She has always drawn as part of her clinical work and starting sharing these drawings on Instagram to provide people with evidence based psychology and mental health information in an accessible, fun and easy to understand way.

Emma is passionate about helping people proactively look after their mental health and taking clinical psychology beyond the clinic room so that more people can benefit from evidence based advice and information. In addition, despite all it's faults and quirks, she is also a big brain fan and Brian the brain often appears in her drawings to demonstrate the wonderful and weird workings of the brain.

Emma received a points of light award from the UK Prime Minister in 2021. She was shortlisted for a mind media award and received a Lovie 'best of the internet' award in 2019 and 2020. You can follow her drawings on instagram and Facebook at @thepsychologymum.
