I have carried out postgraduate training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) at the Institute of Psychiatry, Maudsley Hospital, Kings College London, leading to the award of a Post Graduate Diploma in CBT in 2006.

I was awarded membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych) by examination in 2002 and was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (FRCPsych) in 2013.

I am on the General Medical Councils (GMC) specialist register with dual accreditation in general adult psychiatry and addiction psychiatry. My GMC number is 4680950.

I have been an NHS consultant in west London since 2006. My NHS practice is at Charing Cross Hospital, London where I work with a multidisciplinary Crisis and Assessment Team in Hammersmith.

I  have been in private practice for several years and I was the medical director at Cygnet Hospital Harrow-on-the-Hill, (formerly Bowden House Clinic) for 7 years.

I have an interest in medical education and I am an honorary clinical senior lecturer and academic tutor at Imperial College, London.
