Sally Baker is a UK based senior psychotherapist providing expert media commentary on mental health, relationships and human behaviour.
Her analysis focuses on emotional systems, attachment patterns and nervous system responses to stress and threat. She explains why people behave as they do under pressure, and why understanding a problem does not automatically create change.
She is frequently consulted for psychological context on current affairs, family conflict, relationship breakdown, body image narratives, workplace stress and high profile public stories.
Expertise areas include family estrangement and reconciliation, attachment and intimacy patterns, anxiety and trauma responses, eating behaviour and body image including pharmacological weight loss treatments, the psychological impact of fame and scrutiny, and burnout and resilience in high functioning individuals.
She is available for rapid response comment, background briefings and longer form analysis across print, broadcast and digital media.
