I qualified as a consultant psychiatrist in General Adult Psychiatry in 2012 and then undertook a further period of specialist training, qualifying as a consultant psychiatrist in medical psychotherapy in 2015. I have additional qualifications in mental health research and biomedical and health education and have held honorary research, lecturer and psychotherapist posts at the Institute of Psychiatry, St George’s University of London and Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I have consultant experience in general psychiatry, forensic psychiatry and medical psychotherapy and am also heavily involved in training future specialists in psychiatry, and I am appointed by Health Education England to a number of roles including as the training programme director for medical psychotherapy at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust. Medical Degree (MBBS) GMC Registered Specialist in General Adult Psychiatry GMC Registered Specialist in Medical Psychotherapy Approved by the Secretary of State under S12(2) of the Mental Health. Act 1983, recognising that I have specialist experience in the assessment of mental disorder I have a particular interest in mood disorders and a range of issues that may be considered to be emotional, personality and relationship difficulties that often do not sit neatly into a diagnostic category. I also have an interest in difficulties associated with sustaining high-level performance and achievement in the creative arts, sports and business. Complex Conditions: I have considerable expertise in working with patients who are suffering with “complex” or “treatment resistant” illnesses including those with medically-unexplained physical symptoms. In these and indeed all cases, I believe it is essential to think beyond diagnostic labels and try to understand the whole person, rather than just the symptoms and diagnosis. I regularly supervise other clinicians and provide expert second opinion assessment consultations. I also have specialist experience in forensic psychiatry and frequently act as an expert witness for the courts.
