Biography
Gaynor Parkin is a clinical psychologist and founder of Button Psychology, based in New Zealand. She has contributed expert commentary pieces to The Guardian's 'Modern Mind' column, co-authored with Amanda Wallis, covering topics such as chronic health conditions, workplace wellbeing, and mental health. She is not identified in any source as a UK journalist or staff reporter; her Guardian contributions appear to be those of a practitioner-expert contributor rather than a working journalist.

Bylines and quoted sources are read automatically from UK coverage of the topics Vital Signs tracks, so this page reflects what our scan has read rather than a complete record. Where a biography and photograph appear, they are published by the outlet itself about its own correspondent, and linked above. Social accounts are not held: asserting an unverified one would attach a real person to an account that might not be theirs.
