My experience spans multiple specialties, including:

• Liaison Psychiatry

• Early Intervention in Psychosis, supporting individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis

• Rehabilitation Psychiatry, treating patients with long-standing psychotic conditions such as chronic schizophrenia

• Community Mental Health Teams and inpatient wards

I have led inpatient psychiatric units for many years, and have particular expertise in supporting female patients through complex and acute mental health needs.

I am highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of psychiatric conditions, including:

• Psychosis (schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, drug-induced psychosis)

• Mood disorders

• Severe anxiety disorders and PTSD

• ADHD

• Personality disorders

My Approach

I am deeply passionate about my work and the positive impact I can have on patients’ lives. I strive to support individuals holistically — guiding them through illness towards recovery and long-term mental wellbeing. My approach is compassionate, person-centred, and always sensitive to a person’s background, culture, and personal preferences.
