Dr Carole Sherwood is a retired clinical psychologist. She worked for the NHS specialising in sexual health, chronic pain, cancer, and trauma. Dr Sherwood has grown increasingly concerned about the incursion of Critical Social Justice into clinical psychology.

Dr Sherwood is a co-director of Critical Therapy Antidote, an organisation committed to preserving the healing ethos of therapy. It provides information, support, resources, supervision and training for psychotherapists who are against political activism in the therapeutic professions. She also writes for the Open Therapy Institute in New York and has taken part in their workshops. She is founder of the campaign Save Mental Health.
