EXPERTISE

I am proud to have been a doctor in the NHS for 15 years working in both community and in-patient mental health settings. I have extensive experience working with young people and families with a range of common and complex mental health difficulties, as well as those with neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Condition and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

​

I graduated with an MBBS from Imperial College Medical School, London and a BSc in Medical Sciences. I completed training with the Great Ormond Street and Royal London Hospital training scheme. I have skills in using a range of therapeutic modalities including Systemic, Cognitive Behavioural and Dialectical Behavioural approaches, as well as Mindfulness and Mentalisation.

​

I am passionate about providing high quality evidence based care to young people and families and am a firm believer in co-production – supporting young people and families to feel empowered to take a lead in their mental health. I am the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service Quality Improvement Lead for East London NHS Trust and have worked closely with young people and families when designing and developing health services.

​

Mental wellbeing, I believe is best supported using a holistic and strengths based approach. Taking the time to understand a young person and family is imperative to developing successful treatment plans. In my work I aim to support young people and families on their journey towards achieving their goals.

​

In my spare time I enjoy yoga and keeping fit, have a passion for music and dance, and love playing my guitar.
