Mhairi Rae, Treasurer

Mhairi is a Chartered Accountant who has worked for 15 years across practice and industry, as well as having previous experience as a charity trustee and independent examiner.

Her aim as treasurer is to ensure that HDS has a stable financial base from which to deliver and expand its valuable services.


Debbie Hindle

Dr Debbie Hindle is a consultant child and adolescent psychotherapist, trained at the Tavistock Clinic. 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). Now retired from the NHS, she continues to teach, supervise and lecture. 


Clare Lamont

Clare is a very experienced senior educational leader and inspector of education and children's services. She is formally qualified in Education, Psychology and Business Administration, is a registered teacher, Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. 

Having been appointed as one of as Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Education in 2006, she has held several senior roles within the Inspectorate, including Assistant Director and Head of Scrutiny.  She became a Trustee in 2020.


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.


Lindsay Shrubsole, CAP Training Committee Chair

Now retired from the NHS, Lindsay trained first as a Clinical Psychologist and then as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.  She has extensive clinical experience, spanning nearly forty years, of working in the NHS and in a small private practice, specialising in the treatment and management of severe personality disorder.

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.

  • Loneliness

    Loneliness

    Mental Health Awareness Week 2022 will focus on loneliness, bringing it out from the shadows where it so often is hidden. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, loneliness was almost 3 times that of pre-pandemic levels. It can be said that one of the few consolations of the pandemic is that it reminded us of our need for each other. Mental Health Awareness week will be an opportunity to ask vital questions about how we will reduce loneliness as we continue to come out of the pandemic.
