Psychiatry needs a branding makeover
With over two decades of psychiatric expertise, I offer comprehensive mental health services that extend beyond the limitations of today's crisis-focused system.
My approach emphasises long-term care rather than brief crisis interventions. For patients with severe and complex mental health conditions, I provide stable, consistent treatment focused on building rapport, trust, and genuine recovery pathways.

This includes coordinating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure patients receive comprehensive support for sustainable recovery.
