I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist practising in Cambridge.
I offer assessment and treatment for children, young people and support for their families.
I practice in a child and family-friendly way with a focus on strengths and resources. I work collaboratively with children, young people and their families to help them to make sense of the difficulties and to find ways forward.
I see children and young people under the age of 18 with emotional, behavioural, or relationship problems.
I offer diagnostic assessment and treatment of children and young people with possible:
-
depression
-
anxiety
-
OCD
-
tics and Tourette's syndrome
-
PTSD
-
ADHD/ADD
-
eating disorders
-
autism/Asperger's syndrome with related problems
-
gender dysphoria
-
unexplained medical symptoms
In addition, I offer:
-
family consultations
-
liaison with other professionals involved
-
joint working with other professionals if needed
Please note that I do not offer an emergency service. Nor do I see children/young people with serious suicidal thoughts or severe psychotic symptoms. These children are better treated in the NHS, where there is access to admission if needed.
