Dr. Fiona Campbell is a leading Gerontologist who has dedicated her academic and professional life to understanding the psychological aspects of aging.

Fiona has worked with community organizations and care providers to design activity programmes that stimulate brain function, such as art therapy and specific brain-training protocols. She understands deeply how the loss of mobility can lead to depression and anxiety, and she offers evidence-based strategies to combat this through adapted hobbies and social engagement. Her expertise extends to the emotional hurdles of 'ageing in place,' helping families navigate the delicate conversations around care and autonomy.
