About Julie
Julie Smith is a clinical psychologist who started posting short videos because most people will never sit in a therapy room, and ended up with an audience of more than three million and the best-selling nonfiction book of 2022 in the United Kingdom.
Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? has sold over a million copies, spent more than a hundred weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list and has been translated into more than forty languages. The title is the argument: the tools that clinical psychology uses on low mood, anxiety, self-criticism and motivation are not complicated, they are simply not taught to anyone outside a clinic, and a person who knows them handles a hard week differently.
That makes her a different proposition from a speaker who describes what burnout is. The sessions hand an audience specific, usable techniques, which is what a workforce that has already sat through awareness training actually needs, and her delivery is unpolished in a deliberate way, closer to explaining something to a colleague than to presenting at them.
She works with C-suite groups, corporate teams and international organizations, and her credibility rests on being a practising clinician rather than a commentator on mental health.
She is based in the United Kingdom and speaks internationally, in person and virtually. She suits wellbeing programming, manager training on supporting a struggling team member, and company-wide events where the goal is that people leave with something to use rather than something to think about.

Booking Julie Smith: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Julie Smith's speaking fee?
Julie Smith's fee is not published here and is quoted per event. It is driven by event date, location and travel, session length, whether the session is delivered in person or virtually, and whether a workshop or manager training block is added to the keynote. Submit an inquiry with your date and audience size for a current quote and availability.
She is based in the United Kingdom. Does she speak at events elsewhere?
Yes, she speaks internationally and also delivers virtually, which is often the practical option for a single session. Travel affects both the quote and availability, so include the event location, date and format in the inquiry.
How is this different from a general burnout talk?
It hands the audience specific techniques rather than describing the problem. The premise of the book is that the tools clinical psychology uses on low mood, anxiety and self-criticism are not complicated, they are simply never taught outside a clinic. That suits a workforce that has already sat through awareness training and needs something usable.
What are her credentials?
She is a practising clinical psychologist rather than a commentator on mental health, and her book was the best-selling nonfiction title of 2022 in the United Kingdom, with more than a million copies sold and over a hundred weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. She works with C-suite groups, corporate teams and international organizations.
