MB BCh 1984 Witwatersrand; FRANZCP 1995
I
have been in practice as a consultant psychiatrist as a Fellow of the
Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists since 1995. I
have been in part time private practice at Bexley Clinic since 1997.
In consulting with patients I believe it is important to understand
their presenting problems in the context of their lives. I encourage
patients to discuss diagnoses and any treatment recommendations with me
initially and throughout my contact with them.
Areas of Work
I see many patients with Mood Disorders (depression and bipolar
disorder), Psychoses including schizophrenia and Anxiety Disorders. I
have six years experience in Forensic Psychiatry including preparing
reports for the courts and for legal counsel. I conduct assessments and
treatment for the Accident Compensation Corporation and also consult in
the area of Traumatic Brain Injury and its psychiatric consequences. I
have extensive experience in Psychiatric Assessments relating to
Immigration.
