I have been a psychiatrist (a doctor who specialises in mental health and mental illness) for twenty-seven years. Based near to Milton Keynes I provide help and treatment for a number of psychiatric conditions, such as depression and anxiety, psychosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).

As part of my work I create and provide a structured clinical assessment covering the issues you may have. I aim to be sympathetic, approachable and practical in terms of how I can help.

Many people suffer from anxiety, depression or other conditions in today’s society. However they are often unsure about taking that first step and seeking help with their mental health. It is quite normal to be hesitant when thinking about seeing a psychiatrist, whether because of uncertainty about what exactly a psychiatrist does, or even some negative myths associated with psychiatry.

People struggling with their mental health or requiring an assessment for ADHD or other condition can be helped by psychiatric treatment. This can provide clarity about what exactly is “wrong” – because many mental health conditions are not easy to identify. They often have multiple causes meaning that pinpointing a specific disorder isn’t always easy. However, a psychiatrist can provide an accurate diagnosis.

Your appointment with me may be the first step to work on your mental health or another step to working on yourself. In providing an accurate diagnosis, I can develop a treatment plan tailored for you, to work with your current health and mental health concerns. Ultimately the process can have a big positive effect.

Mental health difficulties take a toll on people, and clearly people are negatively impacted by the symptoms associated they cause. But having that initial psychiatric assessment, receiving an accurate diagnosis and starting a tailored, personal treatment plan can lead to resolution of these symptoms and a better quality of life. It is not an overstatement to say that seeing a psychiatrist can help you to get your life back.

A psychiatrist can provide clarity surrounding the issues you are having, can assess your physical health, can provide opportunities for personal growth, and in the fullness of time, improve the overall quality of your life.
