I am fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK with a licence to practice, and on the GMC Specialist Register for General Psychiatry (GMC number 4579557). I am fully indemnified by the Medical Protection Society (MPS) for NHS and private medical and psychiatric practice.

Born, bred, and educated in London, I graduated as a medical doctor from University College London (UCL) Medical School in 1999. I have worked as an NHS psychiatrist in Luton and Bedfordshire since 2000. I have worked as a Consultant Psychiatrist for people of working age (General Adult Psychiatry) since 2008. I have also been successfully treating private patients since 2007, and I have a growing private practice.  

Appreciating the mind-body link, I effectively combine talking therapies and medication for the safe and timely recovery of my patients. Having also completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Human Givens Therapy, I follow a biopsychosocial and holistic approach to treatment and recovery. I consistently receive positive feedback from my patients and their families, and my professional colleagues.    

As well as having extensive experience in successfully treating mood, anxiety and psychotic disorders, I also have special interests in Addictions Psychiatry and Adult ADHD. I also provide supervised Home alcohol detox (medically-assisted withdrawal) for Mild to Moderate Alcohol dependence (drinking up to 30 units daily). 

I quickly develop effective therapeutic relationships with my patients and safely treat many common and complex mental health problems. A person-centred treatment plan for recovery is jointly agreed upon. Subsequent treatment or review sessions can be booked individually for sixty, thirty or fifteen minutes.

With compassion, care, and understanding, my patients recover and learn to enjoy life.
