GMC Number: 3637937
I have been working in psychiatry in the NHS since 1995. I am specialised in both General Adult Psychiatry and Medical Psychotherapy, having completed a psychoanalytic training at the Tavistock Centre (the ‘M1’). I am currently working as a Consultant psychiatrist in a community-based NHS psychiatric service in London, and work closely with my GP colleagues to provide care to a wide range of patients living locally. I have been Section 12 Approved under the 1983 Mental Health Act since 1998 and am an Approved Clinician.
Because of my background and training, my approach to understanding someone’s difficulties include both biological and psychological considerations. I am interested in the impact of social deprivation as well as the consequences of intergenerational trauma.
I have completed the UKAAN ADHD diagnosing and prescribing courses as well as undergoing certification with the British Association of Psychopharmacology.
I am passionate about my work and consider it to be a privilege to have the trust of my patients.
