ABOUT JESSAMY HIBBERD

Dr Jessamy is a clinical psychologist, author and mother of three. She lives in Hove by the sea and loves spending time on the beach with her family and dog Nellie, as well as cycling in the South Downs.

Jessamy has written eight books, including The Imposter Cure described by the Sunday Times as “the definitive guide to tackling and understanding the psychological mind trap” of imposter syndrome. Her work has been translated into 17 languages and her books are sold all over the world. It was during her clinical psychology training that she realised the need to make psychology more accessible, writing the This Book Will series after qualifying. Most recently Jessamy co-authored Stars Before Bedtime, the first in a new series of before bedtime books. She is a mental health expert for Women’s Health and works as a media psychologist, regularly contributing content to popular newspapers, magazines, podcasts and radio. 

Her motto is: “What we do every day makes the biggest difference. It’s small steps that lead to the greatest changes.” Something she puts into practice (you guessed it) every day. She shared this message, as well as her personal and professional experience of how to find happiness, in her TEDx talk ‘Adventure of a Lifetime.’
