About

I'm a Consultant Psychiatrist at the Priory Hospital Woking, where I specialise in treating depression, anxiety, stress and alcohol use.
By focusing on such a tight range of conditions, I have been able to acquire a really deep knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders, and can provide a polished service to my patients. In addition, I have built a network of tried-and-trusted clinical psychologists throughout London and Surrey, who are able to provide superb, skilled input.
In addition to treating individuals, I'm also lucky enough to consult to a range of organisations including large blue-chip companies and various airlines, where I assess pilots for their suitability to fly.
My initial medical training was at the University of Aberdeen, and I then completed my psychiatric specialist training on the St. George's Hospital Training Rotation in South West London, where I worked in a variety of acute posts in the NHS for more than a decade, gaining lots of expertise across all manner of psychiatric settings.
Almost all my time is spent seeing patients, but I also try to raise awareness of mental health conditions by contributing to articles in the general press, and I've also produce some content for the Huffington Post.
If you're unsure or nervous about making an appointment, don't be. Caroline (my secretary) or I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and to make the whole process as smooth and unintimidating as possible.

Practitioners listed here are registered with the relevant United Kingdom medical authority and operate within national rules on scope of practice, prescribing rights, and continuing professional development. Care delivered in Surrey carries the additional benefits of local language support, in-person follow-up, and direct coordination with regional hospitals and labs.
