Medical expertise meets deep therapeutic understanding.
I trained as a psychiatrist because I wanted to listen properly — not as a luxury, but as a clinical necessity.
My practice integrates psychiatry and psychotherapy across the perinatal period, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. That means I can offer assessment, diagnosis and medication when those help — and the depth of a real therapeutic relationship when that's what's needed.
I work with individuals and families, often alongside GPs, paediatricians, schools and other clinicians. The work is unhurried, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that people are more than the sum of their symptoms.

Four things that shape every session.
01 · Holistic
Mind, body, relationships, attachment and lived experience — not symptoms in isolation.
02 · Trauma-informed
Care that recognises the impact of past experience on present mental health.
03 · Continuity
One clinician across the lifespan — not handed off to whoever's next available.
04 · Inclusive
A welcoming, non-judgmental space — regardless of background, culture, identity, neurotype or faith.
