In managing my patients, I am committed to a holistic approach, involving the patient, family or carers, where appropriate, to develop an individualised, robust and bespoke formulation and management plan.

As a consultant psychiatrist, I have worked within both inpatient and outpatient care settings. I have worked as the lead clinician in psychiatric intensive care units (PICU), acute adult wards, crisis resolution and home treatment teams and electroconvulsive therapy teams.

I approach the care of my patient with the use of up-to-date and evidence-based approaches of psycho-pharmacological treatment and supportive psychological interventions. I also work closely with allied professional psychologists at Priory Wellbeing Centre Birmingham, to provide the best and most appropriate structured psychological interventions.

I consider it a privilege to be given the opportunity to be able to help my patients make a lasting recovery and return to an enjoyable and fulfilling life. I take pride in being able to effectively assist patients achieve this goal.
