About Me

I am a specialist in psychiatry with over ten years of clinical experience, including six years as a Consultant Psychiatrist at the East London NHS Foundation Trust in London, UK.
My experience encompasses the treatment of adults with mental health issues, dual diagnoses, and addictions, with a particular focus on old-age psychiatry, neurodivergence, and psychosis. I have also completed intensive, comprehensive training to obtain official certification in administering and interpreting the gold-standard tools for assessing and diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ADOS-2 and ADI-R) in both adults and children.
