Independent Psychiatric Care
Welcome to my home page. Hopefully this will be your first step in getting the help you are looking for. I have over 20 years of experience treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions in adults especially:
Some important facts about mental health problems
- They are very common
- Many of them do in fact have physical causes
- Some can affect a person's physical health
- They are just as real and important as physical illnesses
- Many people will have some form of psychiatric condition during their life
- They are very treatable and in most cases people can, and will, get better
- People are becoming more educated and more understanding of these problems
- Getting treatment early is really important to speed up the time to recovery
My approach to treatment
- Taking an holistic approach, and not focussed just on a diagnosis
- Working in partnership with patients with respect and empathy
- Being sensitivity to the cultural diversity of patients
- Being non-judgmental
- Providing a completely confidential service
- Recommending psychological treatment before medication when safe to do so
- Working with a small number of highly experienced and trusted psychologists
- Helping patients with work-related stress and advising their employers
- Always aiming for patients to make a complete recovery
- Ability to offer a choice of day-patient and in-patient care facilities that will best suit your needs
