Therapy
With over 31 years of experience as a physician, I have always believed in a truly holistic, biopsychosocial approach to care. Throughout my medical career spanning general practice, hospital medicine, psychiatry, teaching, and mentoring I have found that the consultation itself can and should be profoundly therapeutic.
My philosophy is that true therapy enables people to explore their emotions and soul with safety, clarity, and honesty leaving the room feeling lighter, more enlightened, and better equipped to navigate life’s complexities. I have long sought to create that space for patients, whether dealing with complex medical conditions, mood disorders, relationship challenges, or life transitions.
Having worked extensively in psychiatry during my early career, and applying therapeutic skills daily in my years as a GP and senior clinician in the NHS, I have developed a highly attuned, compassionate, and perceptive style of engagement. I have also taught, appraised, and coached fellow doctors and healthcare staff, believing that supporting professionals is as vital as supporting patients.
My approach is integrative and humanistic: I address not only symptoms but the person as a whole, always weaving in mental health awareness regardless of the presenting issue. I hold postgraduate qualifications in mental health and have drawn on these skills across all areas of my practice clinical medicine, training, consultation, and everyday life.
I am privileged to offer therapy and coaching to those seeking help with mood disorders, life challenges, personal growth, relationship issues, or simply the need for a confidential, understanding space. It is my belief and my purpose to help each person find greater clarity, freedom, and meaning.
