Hello, my name is Tom and I would like to help you gain a better understanding of your mental health, collaborating, and finding treatment options that will help you to thrive. I offer assessments for conditions that range across the whole psychiatric spectrum.
I have undertaken additional training in diagnostic assessments for both ADHD (including the DIVA) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (including the ADOS-2).
Prior to studying medicine, I completed a degree in history. As an 18-year-old I was diagnosed with cancer, later representing teenage and young adult cancer patients on a local, national, and international, basis. This experience inspired me to become a doctor, holding a great appreciation of the link between body and mind.
During my training I worked with adults in both community and inpatient settings, as well older adults, children and adolescents, and with patients in general hospitals. I later sub-specialised in forensic psychiatry, where patients sit at the interface with the criminal justice system. Due to the risk posed to others I manage patients comprehensively.
I currently work as a Consultant Psychiatrist for the NHS within the prison system. I am a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and approved under Section 12(2) of the Mental Health Act as having special experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorder.
