I work with children and adolescents affected by mental illness and other psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviours and behavioural and learning problems.
As a medical doctor who has completed specialist training in psychological and medical aspects of mental health, I provide comprehensive assessment and multiple methods of treatment that work together, known as multi-modal treatment. Treatment may include individual and family therapies combined with medication, where appropriate.
I’m committed to providing personalised, sensitive and appropriate care for my child and adolescent patients and their families.
Am I the right psychiatrist for you or your child?
I’m a highly experienced psychiatrist able to deliver therapies across a range of mental illness and psychological conditions. General feedback is that patients and parents find me approachable, respectful, careful to understand their perspective and priorities and collaborative in my approach to treatment.
However, we all have different personalities and needs and sometimes the ‘fit ’may not seem right. If you have concerns or doubts about whether I’m the right psychiatrist for you, please raise them. I’m open to discussing any issues and finding a resolution, which may include referral to another psychiatrist or other therapist who could be a better ‘fit’.
