At my practice, I prioritize understanding each patient's unique experiences and challenges. My approach blends science based psychiatry with respect for what makes you individual, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to your needs.
Treatment Philosophy
My treatment philosophy is based around a consultant model, where I try to provide the very best evidence based advice I can provide, helping you understand the science that underpins it and the uncertainties involved. There is rarely only one reasonable was to approach an issue. So I prefer to lay out options discussing advantages and disadvantages, risks and benefits of various approaches so you can decide what is best for you.
