For more information please feel free to sign up to my newsletter where I will periodically send you new content to promote the aims outlined above.
I have completed my Specialist training in General Adult Psychiatrist and Medical Psychotherapy and hold accreditation with the General Medical Council. service. I have recently completed a Masters in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy at Oxford University and hold full accreditation with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapists.
I have a deep interest in psychoanalysis. Over the past 7 years, I have attended multiple courses at the Institute of Psychoanalysis. I have also undertaken training in Mentalisation Based Treatment, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am passionate and enthusiastic about the emerging evidence of the transformative effects of psychedelic drugs in revolutionising psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatments for some patients. I would advocate for open discussion and dialogue amongst professionals and the public, to help reduce the stigma and misinformation around this sensitive topic. I believe that healthy, critical discussion on these topics may help support those that are suffering from complex mental health difficulties like depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma. My aim is to help them access new treatment options that they are currently unable to use. The research findings are suggesting that psychedelic treatments could potentially be transformative for some patients that have not benefited from other conventional psychiatric and psychotherapeutic management options.
By identifying myself as a medical doctor specialising in psychiatry, I am hoping to share personally meaningful positive messages and online content. My professional governing body, the General Medical Council, recommends that the views of doctors on social media can benefit patient care by:
a. engaging people in public health and policy discussions
b. establishing national and international professional networks
c. facilitating patients’ access to information about health and services
I would like to state my intention to share positive messages that promote critical thinking, help to challenge assumptions, stigmas and prejudices. I hope that by transforming our current view of uncertainty, fear and distress we can support each other to promote hope, collaboration and compassionate kindness that will widen our collective perception.
