About Me

I am a passionate practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with complex mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders.

I have developed a deep expertise in managing ADHD alongside psychiatric disorders. My background includes seven years of non-medical prescribing, where I have monitored ADHD medications for patients under home treatment teams and within psychiatric liaison services.

My areas of expertise include the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD and psychiatric disorders. I am affiliated with the NMC and have taken the lead in managing patients presenting in crisis with acute mental health disorders, as well as those in high-security forensic settings. My role also includes assessing and diagnosing patients within psychiatric liaison services, particularly those with neurodiverse and psychiatric disorders.

I am committed to ongoing professional development, regularly participating in ADHD 360 training updates and staying informed through resources like Attitude for the latest research and webinars on ADHD. The best part of my job is the assessment, diagnosis, and initiation of treatment, where I can make a significant impact on my patients' lives.

Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about health and well-being and enjoy activities such as swimming, dancing, and travelling.

My extensive experience in assessing psychiatric disorders allows me to effectively differentiate between mental and neurodevelopmental disorders, ensuring comprehensive and accurate patient care.
