I have been working as a Consultant Psychiatrist in Manchester, UK prior to my relocating to Pakistan and developing our mental health services under the umbrella of Curelink Healthcare.
I have over 15 years’ experience in the field of psychiatry and all my work experience and training in this profession is from UK. I have always been fascinated by the field of neurosciences and psychology. The interface of the human brain and the mind and how it impacts on our day-to-day activities has been a constant source of interest for me.
To achieve better understanding of the constant challenges my patients face in this area I pursued my interests in the area of Neuropsychiatry. I have vast experience in the field of Psychiatry and have had the pleasure of developing my skills in this area by collaboratively working alongside many highly experienced professionals from the UK including and not limited to Consultant Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists and allied mental health professionals.
I have had the opportunity to complete a year of training at a tertiary referral neurology center in Salford Royal Hospital, Manchester working alongside Consultant Neurologists and Consultant Neuropsychiatrists. As a Consultant Psychiatrist with the National Health Service (NHS) in Manchester, UK I have worked in various settings including Adult Inpatient, Outpatient, and Early Intervention Services in Psychosis in Psychiatry.
During my early training years, I have worked in Adult, Old age, Forensic, Learning Difficulties and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services. I am able to make use of basic psychological and psychodynamic therapeutic interventions in helping my patients develop a better understanding of their mental health conditions and work towards recovery from their illness.
