I have worked in multiple settings and sectors of psychiatric practice and consider myself a true generalist.
I love psychiatry and consider myself privileged to do my job. I have worked in the NHS, the private and third sector, as well as in academia, inpatient, outpatient, detoxification and rehabilitation settings.
Particular areas of interest are:
-
- Stress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Burnout
- Psychosis and unusual experience
- Bipolar affective disorder
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Relationship of trauma with current mental health symptoms
I have a particular interest in the link between drug and alcohol use and current mental health symptoms.
I have always received very good patient, carer and colleague feedback and believe in putting the patient at the heart of care.
I am on the Executive of the Academic Faculty for the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Deputy Lead for Critical Appraisal for the Royal College Exams.
I host an annual symposium on the Neurobiology of Pscychosis and Schizophrenia involving world leading thinkers and scientists on this enigmatic question.
