I am a Psychiatrist with experience of working as a Consultant since 2012. My specialist training is in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and I see people till the age of 25 years. I am also an affiliate researcher at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. I have previously worked as Professor of Psychiatry at Moti Lal Nehru Medical College, Allahabad, India. I have trained at one of the best psychiatric institutes of India and UK. My Indian training is from King George’s Medical University, Lucknow following which I obtained further training at the South London & Maudsley NHS trust which is widely considered to be one of the best places in the world to train as a psychiatrist. I have a rich experience of working as Consultant both in UK and India.
My areas of interests include all aspects of psychiatry but especially neurodevelopmental disorders, behaviour addictions, mood and anxiety disorders. I use both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in my practice including cognitive behaviour therapy, family therapy and parent training. I am also an enthusiastic athlete and love endurance sports. I have run marathons, ultramarathons and done many long distance cycling trips. This has taught me the immense benefits of physical exercise in enhancing one’s mental health. It also helps me create awareness about the need to reduce our carbon footprint!
