For twenty-seven years I have been a psychiatrist (a doctor specialising in mental health and mental illness), based near to Northampton and providing people in the area with help and treatment for various psychiatric conditions. Examples include depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), and psychosis.

As part of my treatment I provide structured clinical assessments which cover the issues in detail. I aim to be approachable, sympathetic and practical in terms of the help I offer.

In today’s society many people suffer from anxiety, depression or other conditions. However they are often put off from seeking help with their mental health. It is quite normal to be hesitant when thinking about seeing a psychiatrist. This might stem from uncertainty about the process, or even some negative myths associated with psychiatry.

The treatment I provide can help people struggling with their mental health or requiring an assessment for ADHD or other condition. The process can provide clarity about what exactly is “wrong” – because many mental health conditions are far from easy to identify. More than one cause is often in play, which makes pinpointing a specific disorder less than straightforward. However, a psychiatrist can provide an accurate diagnosis.

Your appointment with me could be the first step towards improving your mental health. By providing an accurate diagnosis, I can develop a specific treatment plan that works with your current health and mental health concerns. Ultimately the process can have a big positive effect.

People often find that mental health difficulties take a toll on them, and clearly they are negatively impacted by the symptoms that arise from these conditions. A psychiatric assessment, accurate diagnosis and a tailored, personal treatment plan can signpost the way to resolution of these symptoms and a better quality of life for you. It is not an overstatement to say that seeing a psychiatrist can help you to get your life back.

I can provide clarity surrounding the issues you are having, assess your physical health, provide a pathway to personal growth, and over time, improve the overall quality of your life.
