COVID-19 INFORMATION
During this unprecedented time I will continue to offer assessments and treatment to both newly referred and existing patients. Current Department of Health guidance is that all appointments should be undertaken using video or telephone when possible. Therefore I am offering video appointments using Zoom software. Face to face appointments will still be offered but only in specific circumstances, such as for people with communication difficulties or those who are unable to use video technology. If you have any questions or require further information then please contact me. The fees for consultations will remain the same as described on the Fees page. Most insurers are permitting video consultation during this period but please check with your insurer that this (and my fees) are claimable before proceeding. I am a Consultant Psychiatrist working both in the NHS and privately in the Coventry and Warwickshire region. My private practice clinics are held at Rother House Medical Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon and Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital, Leamington Spa.
I am experienced in the assessment and treatment of people with a variety of mental health problems including depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and dementia. I also have significant experience in the legal assessment of capacity. I am able to accept referrals for anyone over the age of 18 who has mental health problems. In addition I accept referrals for capacity assessments, for example Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection assessments. I am recognised by most of the major healthcare insurers including BUPA and AXA-PPP (please refer to Referral Procedure for more details). Please note I offer a clinic-based service but not inpatient services. Therefore if you believe that you require admission to hospital please discuss this with your GP who can recommend suitable hospitals. Private Practice Addresses
