I am a self-employed therapist who uses CBT techniques to help people who are experiencing emotional problems such as anxiety and depression.
Before working privately as a therapist I worked as a Psychiatrist in the NHS for over ten years. During this time I worked in numerous different psychiatric specialities and with people suffering from the whole range of mental and emotional difficulties.
I left the NHS in order to spend less time in meetings(!) and more time with patients. I have always found the face-to-face aspect of my work the most rewarding.
I graduated as a medical doctor in 1993 (Aberdeen University) and I am a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
