About
As consultant psychiatrist with over 10 years of experience in treating a diverse range of mental health conditions, I have a wealth of knowledge, expertise and compassion. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, helping them navigate the complexities of mental illness and achieve optimal mental wellbeing.
My approach to patient care is rooted in a deep understanding of the nuanced and multifaceted nature of mental health conditions. I believe in taking a holistic and person-centred approach to treatment, recognising that each person is unique and deserving of individualised care. By fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy and respect, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where patients feel empowered to share their experiences and work towards healing and growth.
My clinical practice is guided by evidence-based interventions and the latest advancements in psychiatric research. I am committed to staying abreast of emerging trends and best practice in the field, ensuring that my patients receive the most effective and cutting-edge treatments available. Whether I’m supporting people with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, or other mental health conditions, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to help them achieve lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about education, advocacy, and destigmatising mental health issues in the community. I actively engage in teaching, mentorship, and public outreach efforts to raise awareness and promote mental health literacy. I’m deeply invested in reducing barriers to mental health care access and fostering a culture of acceptance and support for people facing mental health challenges.
I strive to have a positive impact in the lives of people struggling with mental illness and to contribute to the advancement of the field of psychiatry. I’m committed to providing high quality, patient-centred care that promotes healing, resilience and overall wellbeing.
