Dr Julie Smith is a clinical psychologist, with over 4.8 million followers on TikTok.
After working for the National Health Service in England for 10 years, Julie opened her own private practice in Hampshire.
In 2019, Julie began to make TikToks about mental health. The 60 second grabs of clkear and engaging information on topics such as comparison and depression were ‘liked’ more than 5 million times within the first 6 months. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Julie’s audience only grew.
In 2022, Julie published her first book Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?, which aims to provide a simple, positive and practical toolkit to better your mental health. Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before would go on to be the best-selling non-fiction book of 2022.
Julie release her second book, Open When….. in January 2024, which is about providing immediate support to someone in the moment they need it.
Most importantly, our own Dr Emily is a fan of Julie’s, so you know she’s the real deal.
