Role
Consultant Child & Adolescent PsychiatristWhy I Work at CAMHS
I really like working with children, young people, their carers, parents & families to improve relationships, develop communication and reduce distress. I understand that problems are often complex and long standing. I know that school provides opportunities to study, learn new skills and make friends but can also be a source of pressure and tension.I hope we can provide another perspective which helps to reduce the problems young people and families experience at home, school and in the community.
My Skills and Interests
I have a real interest in Family Therapy. I have responsibilities within CAMHS in relation to psychiatric assessments and the use of medication. I take a lead in keeping up-to-date about the law and mental health.
A Bit About Me
I like eating out and reading recipes but I have very little time available to actually cook! I do like going on holiday as long as I can sit by a pool, reading my kindle.
