The majority of the provided references originate from the subject herself via web domains whose contents she controls. The subject may use these sources as references only for claims that are made involving herself and which do not involve other parties.
As the claims to receiving an education from a particular university, working in a particular research centre, or studing under a particular professor are all claims which involve other parties (the university, the research center and the professor, respectively) these references ought to originate from reliable, independent WP:SECONDARY sources.

I believe that these are reliable independent sources.

Clarification requested

After ‘she studied for her PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, London under the supervision of Professor George Ettlinger’, insert source It is not known what is meant by the word studied. Please clarify (e.g., "She obtained her Ph.D. at the Institute of Psychiatry, London, where she worked under the supervision of her advisor, George Ettlinger" or other such clearer explanation).^[a]
After ‘Department of Psychiatry, Clinical Research Centre, Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, London’ is an incomplete sentence. Please provide the entire verbatim sentence (and its location within the article) for clarity.

Notes

^ The word "studied" does not imply an end result, and thus, leaves open the question of whether those studies were concluded successfully.
