“What I enjoy most about psychiatry is getting to know people properly and understanding their difficulties within the context of their lives and relationships. I believe the best care comes from working together to find an approach that feels right for each individual.”

I have worked in psychiatry for over 30 years, across both the NHS and private practice. I trained in psychiatry at St George’s Hospital Medical School, where I later became a Senior Lecturer and Consultant Psychiatrist in the Eating Disorders Service. I have published research in this field and previously served as Medical Director for Eating Disorders at the Priory Group and Lead Consultant at Priory Roehampton.

I have particular expertise in eating disorders and body image concerns in both adults and adolescents. I also have broad experience supporting adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, stress and grief, as well as those facing difficult periods of change or adjustment in their lives.

I take time to understand each patient as an individual and aim to provide thoughtful, practical care that is tailored to their needs. I particularly value working collaboratively with patients and, where appropriate, their families and other professionals involved in their care.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, cooking and entertaining, keeping active, and spending time with family and friends.
