About

I am a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist with more than 20 years of experience in the field. He also has 6 years of experience working with patients who have treatment-resistant psychosis.

I am able to treat a range of conditions, including the following:


Bipolar affective disorder

Depression

Anxiety and Panic Disorder

ADHD in Adults

OCD – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Eating Disorders (Anorexia/Bulimia)

Systemic Family Therapy


I am currently working at the Psychiatry and Therapy Centre in Dubai Healthcare City. I have recently moved to Duabi from the UK where I held a substantive position as a Consultant Psychiatrist working for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I also had my own private practice in Harley Street, London. I have worked across different settings and environments, and with people from very varied socio-cultural and ethnical backgrounds. It affords me an excellent understanding of how different problems present amongst different population groups, but also recognising the individual characteristics of each patient, creating an atmosphere of trust in a totally confidential and non-judgemental environment.

Having worked in General Medicine in Spain, I trained in Psychiatry in the UK and have been a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists">Royal College of Psychiatrists since 2005. I am in the GMC Specialist Register for General Adult Psychiatry and Substance Misuse Psychiatry.

I have developed a community Eating Disorder Service, a Neuropsychiatry Liaison Service, Adult ADHD clinics at different locations in the UK and I transformed an in-patient detoxification unit into an in-patient Dual Diagnosis Service. I have provided medical leadership for a team caring for people with difficult-to-treat severe and enduring mental health problems.

I have a keen interest in research and I have completed an MSc in Psychiatric Research at University College London, with a project exploring the links between the Crisis Resolution Teams and other Health Services across Primary and Secondary Care settings in the UK, and I am applying the findings to our local services.

I am an avid reader and keep abreast of the latest research publications, which affords me with an up to date knowledge of pharmacological and other non biological therapeutic interventions. Psychopathology, the science which studies the symptoms in the mind and makes possible to establish accurate diagnoses, is one of my passions. I am a formal Educational Supervisor to psychiatric trainees and in the past years I have tutored medical students from King´s College London where I have been, for several years, an external examiner for the final year medical students.

My main strengths are a wide clinical versatility and a thorough understanding of the human nature, which is instrumental in this field of medicine. My main areas of expertise are Bipolar Affective Disorders, Depression, ADHD in Adults, Neuropsychiatry and Family Therapy.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
