My approach to therapy is family focused, recognising the central role parents have in supporting their children. I encourage and support parents to be actively involved in the assessment and treatment of their children.
I have undertaken training in Attachment-Based Family Therapy and Systemic Family Therapy and am a registered educator of the Circle of Security Parenting Program.
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’.
