About Us

Dr. Katie Smith – Founder of Rouken Glen Psychology

Hello, I am Dr. Katie Smith, a clinical psychologist with a passion for helping individuals achieve their full potential. In 2019, I founded Rouken Glen Psychology to offer high-quality, client-centred psychological services. I aim to help individuals navigate life’s challenges and enhance their well-being.

At Rouken Glen Psychology, we provide psychological assessments and therapy for adults aged 18 and over. Many of our clients have experienced significant life changes, such as trauma, medical diagnoses, or other events affecting their mental health. We also support individuals who have struggled with mental health difficulties for years and are seeking a fresh approach. Additionally, we offer specialist psychological assessments and reports for the medical and medicolegal sectors, often as instructed by medical professionals and solicitors.

As a Chartered Psychologist, I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Glasgow (2003). I also have over 20 years of experience working within the NHS in mental health and hospital recovery settings. I previously worked as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in a specialist Gender Identity Service. I continue to have a strong interest in gender dysphoria and related psychological support.
