About Me

I am a fully qualified Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, registered as a specialist in both the UK and Ireland. My career has been dedicated to supporting children and young people with a broad spectrum of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions, with a strong focus on delivering thorough, high‑quality assessments and tailored treatment plans.

I have a particular specialist interest in Attention‑Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My practice is grounded in extensive experience delivering structured, evidence‑based ADHD and Autism assessments, ensuring each young person receives a clear, accurate diagnostic formulation and a meaningful pathway of support.

As a mother of five children, including two sets of twins, I also bring a deep personal understanding of child development, family dynamics, and the challenges many parents face. This lived experience complements my clinical expertise, enabling me to work with families in a manner that is empathic, practical, and attuned to real‑world pressures.

My Clinical Approach

My approach is thorough, compassionate, and holistic. I take the time to understand each child or young person within the context of their environment, strengths, challenges, and developmental history. My assessments consider:

  • behavioural presentation,
  • genetic and neurobiological factors,
  • emotional wellbeing,
  • family and social influences, and
  • school functioning.

I prioritise clarity, collaboration, and evidence‑based decision‑making throughout every stage of the assessment and treatment journey.

Specialist Services I Provide

I offer a comprehensive range of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults, including:

  • Full neurodevelopmental assessments
  • ADHD diagnostic assessments and medication management
  • Comprehensive Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnostic evaluations
  • General child and adolescent psychiatric assessments, including mood, anxiety, and early‑onset mood disorders
  • Integrated, personalised care plans that take into account home, school, and social settings

I have substantial experience running structured ADHD clinics using rigorous and validated assessment protocols, ensuring that every evaluation is accurate, detailed, and aligned with best‑practice standards.
