In addition to his work in mental health services as a clinician and manager Graham served for two years (2010-12) in a policy role as the CAMHS advisor to the Scottish Government. Graham has also been a trustee with the Sutherland Trust and an Independent Prison Monitor.

For 10 years, she was Head of the Clinical Training in Child Psychotherapy at the Scottish Institute of Human Relations in Edinburgh and worked clinically in a specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Glasgow for children who were fostered or adopted. 

She has written extensively, including 3 co-edited books – Personality Development: A Psychoanalytic Perspective (1999); The Emotional Experience of Adoption: A Psychoanalytic Perspective (2008);and Sibling Matters: A Psychoanalytic, Developmental and Systemic Approach (2014).

Elaine Ogg

Elaine trained as a general practitioner 30 years ago but very quickly became interested in mental health, therefore moved to specialist training in Psychiatry. She worked for 20 years as a consultant Psychiatrist. Elaine's psychiatry has always included talking therapy and a psychodynamic understanding of her patients’ difficulties and she trained in Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy.

Elaine is now semi-retired from the NHS but into her second year as a private practitioner in psychotherapy. Her experience has shown her the value of psychotherapy and Elaine is passionate about supporting HDS in its aims.


Khaliq Rehman

Khaliq joined as a board trustee in October 2020 with a background in financial services. Although from a non-medical background, mental health is a subject close to his heart as he has seen first hand how mental health issues can have serious consequences if help is not available or sought.  

Khaliq’s experience in the business world will help take HDS on to the next chapter in its journey to improve the lives of many more vulnerable individuals.


Tim Savage

Tim is a psychodynamic counsellor who works in secondary schools, and with clients of all ages through a private practice.

In addition, she provided teaching, training, supervision and consultancy, both within and beyond the NHS, to postgraduate students, qualified clinicians from various disciplines as well as managers and non-clinical staff.

Lindsay has an enduring interest in promoting the values and understanding of psychoanalytic thinking in all aspects of mental health provision.
