Fiona Murray is a Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Director at Women First Healthcare, with extensive experience in women’s mental health, perinatal psychiatry and adult psychiatric care. She has worked as an NHS Consultant Psychiatrist since 2006 and spent more than seven years as a full-time perinatal psychiatric consultant, supporting women through pregnancy and the first year after birth. During this time, she contributed to the development of the Scottish SIGN guidelines on perinatal mood disorders, published in 2012, as a member of the specialist panel responsible for their creation.
Alongside her specialist perinatal work, Dr Murray has broad experience caring for adults in inpatient mental health settings and community psychiatric services across the UK and internationally. She is also a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), enabling her to provide an integrative and holistic approach to assessment and treatment.
Originally training in general practice before specialising in psychiatry, Dr Murray was drawn to the field through a desire to spend more time listening to patients and understanding their experiences in depth. Her NHS career has reinforced her commitment to women’s mental health, with a strong emphasis on delivering personalised care tailored to each individual’s circumstances and needs.
At Women First Healthcare, Dr Murray aims to provide a supportive and understanding environment where women can access specialist psychiatric expertise, compassionate care and the time needed to navigate challenging periods in their lives.

Dr Murray is incredibly kind, patient and understanding. She has been a tremendous help through a turbulent period of my life. I was initially worried about pursuing an autism assessment but she put me at ease and I felt supported and seen
I struggle with what I thought was PMDD and its been really helpful to confirm my suspicions were correct and to have clear options about how I can go ahead to help the symptoms Im having. I feel like the assessment with Dr Fiona was excellent, she is very kind, I was listened to, understood and there was no question I couldn't ask.
Easy to talk to, approachable and friendly, put me at ease enabling a very constructive conversation
I felt listened to and that my assessment was thorough and careful
I cannot recommend Women First Healthcare highly enough. From my first enquiry to receiving my clinic letter, I felt listened to, understood and treated with genuine kindness and compassion. Dr Fiona Murray took the time to understand my whole story rather than focusing on individual symptoms. I never felt rushed or judged, and for the first time I felt that someone truly understood how my mental health has affected me throughout my life. The assessment was incredibly thorough, and the clinic letter was detailed, thoughtful and personalised. She even took the time to discuss my case with a Consultant Clinical Psychologist to ensure the recommendations were as helpful as possible before sending the report to my GP. Throughout the process, communication was excellent. I received helpful information after my appointment, and I felt supported rather than simply assessed. The recommendations have already helped guide my GP, and I now feel like I finally have a clear plan going forward. Although seeking help felt daunting, I left feeling validated, understood and hopeful for the future. I am incredibly grateful for the care and professionalism shown throughout.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Murray. I was experiencing a worsening of my symptoms of anxiety during pregnancy and felt that I needed to speak to an expert on mental health in the perinatal period. Dr Murray was fantastic- professional, reassuring, clearly an expert in her field. I am very grateful that she did her absolute best to help me.
