My Approach To Mental Health
I am passionate and proud to offer a holistic, personalised and collaborative approach to help solve mental health queries. This consists of a holistic assessment with a bespoke treatment plan, including regular follow-up where required. I use an evidence-based approach and value spending time with clients to discuss holistic options to boost emotional well-being and improve mental health.
For therapy options I work collaboratively with therapists. I also assist with best fit between client and therapist.
Treatment Options Include:
About Me
Training
Whilst at medical school I intercalated a Psychology BSc and obtained 1st Class Honours which included a thesis on the effects of stress on the immune system. After qualifying in Medicine from Guy’s, King’s & St. Thomas’ medical school in London, I proceeded straight on to specialise in psychiatry in Central London University teaching Hospitals. First at South London & Maudsley NHS Trust and then onto the Royal Free/UCL NHS Trust for higher specialist training.
Consultant Psychiatrist
I have been very privileged to have trained in centres of excellence and thus have achieved a wealth of experience. My Consultant NHS work started in 2009, at Kensington & Chelsea - Assessment and Home Treatment Team, moving onto West London Mental Health NHS Trust where I have managed and led a ‘Crisis’ Team and liaison service, an Assertive Outreach Team (specialising in psychosis) and a Community Mental Health team. I fully understand the pros and cons of NHS mental health provision and can advise accordingly.
I have also provided care to private clients at The Portobello Clinic and also provided link work with Nuffield Health in the City. I served as a VIsiting Consultant at the Nightingale Hospital, Marylebone for over 10 years, and now I am excited to launch my own clinical service.
During my 20+ years of practising in mental health I have the experience of assessing, diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of conditions – from mild stress to severe and enduring mental illness. I have access to extensive psychotherapeutic interventions including a day hospital and inpatient unit. I am also very well versed in the application of the Mental Health Act including attending tribunals and providing medico-legal reports on behalf of my clients. Combining my psychiatry experience with a holistic approach is fundamental to my practice.
Teaching
I have been an Honorary Lecturer and Educational Supervisor at Imperial College Medical School, London. I have taught and supervised medical students, general practitioner trainees, trainee psychiatrists and nurse-prescribers.
What I Offer
Video and telephone consultations.
I accept referrals directly from clients/patients, and also GPs, Occupational Health departments and employers.
I am able to communicate fluently in French and conversational Spanish.
Any information disclosed will remain confidential, usually only released with client/patient consent.
