I am a consultant psychiatrist and provide ADHD assessments and ADHD medication treatment  (for individuals over 18 years old only). My service has been inspected by the Care Quality Commission and rated as 'Good' in all areas with no areas identified for improvement. Please see my my feedback and testimonials here.

 

 In addition, I am a positive psychology practitioner with skills also in Acceptance and Commitment therapy and spiritual and executive life coach providing coaching and workshops to individuals and groups (with or without ADHD).

 

 I have a wealth of experience working in mental health services and created a specialism in Adult ADHD. I worked as a doctor in the NHS for over 20 years, and as a consultant psychiatrist since 2008. I also worked in community and acute day hospitals and was the prison psychiatrist for two large male adult prisons for several years. In 2011, I developed and launched the first Leeds NHS Adult ADHD service, which I was clinical lead until 2022. During this time, I led a successful service and  gained a reputation for my expertise and clinical skills, but also for my passion and commitment to raising awareness of ADHD across social media and in local and national newspaper and magazine publications. I have provided regular ADHD training across healthcare settings and also other areas including the criminal justice system.  

 

Over recent years, I have become increasingly persuaded that we need to shift from a simplified restrictive medical 'sickness' model, in which we look to move solely from illness to non-illness. Through a combination of my own personal journey and increasing the breadth of my teaching and learning, I have therefore become increasingly aligned with focusing my support to help individuals on a path of personal growth, enhancing understanding of their 'True Self', and have the tools to sustain positive mental health and thrive.
