Background

About Hannah Wright

BSc Psychology graduate from the University of Kent, where I earned a 2:1 and developed a strong passion for understanding the human mind and supporting others. My studies covered fascinating areas like Cognition in Action, Neuroscience of Cognitive Disorders, and Psychoanalysis, and I had the incredible opportunity to work with Dr. Zara Bergstrom on a research project exploring how counterfactual imagination can lead to memory distortions. Beyond academics, I’ve gained valuable experience across healthcare, mental health, and public service. At the UK Health Security Agency, I supported the acute response team, balancing a fast-paced environment with professional training. My time with South-East and Central Essex Mind was especially rewarding, as I helped individuals with complex mental health conditions on their journey to recovery. These experiences, along with earlier roles in the NHS, retail, and hospitality, have made me adaptable, empathetic, and highly organised.
