I have worked as a doctor in the NHS since 2005 with many years experience as a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. I have supported children and young people in the community and inpatient settings within the NHS with a range of different mental health conditions. I have worked with specialist child and young person crisis teams, neurodevelopmental teams, eating disorder teams and inpatient teams. I support children and young people from birth to adulthood across a range of mild to severe mental health conditions.
I have expertise in the treatment of depression, anxiety conditions including anxiety related to Autism, eating disorders including Avoidance Restrictive Intake Disorder (ARFID), and Neurodevelopmental conditions including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I have additional training in ARFID treatment, CBT, DBT and Mindfulness.
I am committed to utilising the latest research and innovations to help young people to improve their mental health. I work with organisations and Universities researching a wide range of topics within child mental health, including interventions for hyperacuity in young people with autism, self-help tool kits for young people with self-harm and the treatment options for young people with eating disorders.
