Dr Holly Milmine

DEdPsy, MSc, MA

Dr Holly Milmine is an Educational Psychologist with a background spanning developmental psychology, clinical and health psychology, neurodevelopment, and behavioural science. Her early academic and research interests focused on understanding how psychological, developmental, social and environmental factors shape human behaviour, with her doctoral research exploring radicalisation and extremist behaviours. Following her doctoral training, Holly moved into private practice, working with children, young people, families and education settings. Her work has developed a particular focus on neurodevelopmental differences, including autism and ADHD, alongside emotional wellbeing, behaviour and barriers to education. Her approach is grounded in understanding behaviour within context, drawing on developmental psychology and systemic thinking to consider not only the individual, but also the relationships, environments and wider systems surrounding them. More recently, Holly has brought this experience into health technology as the founder of Hive Wellness. Her work now sits at the intersection of psychology, mental health and digital innovation, exploring how psychological evidence can be translated into accessible, personalised technology that improves how people understand their needs, find appropriate support and engage with therapy. Across her work, Holly is particularly interested in moving beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the factors influencing how people think, feel and behave, and using psychological evidence to design support, systems and services that respond to the whole person.
