My path into psychiatry has not been entirely conventional. I initially studied Economics before deciding to retrain as a doctor, driven by a growing interest in people rather than numbers.

Throughout medical training, I found myself increasingly fascinated by human behaviour, motivation, performance, and the factors that help individuals thrive under pressure. That curiosity ultimately led me to psychiatry, a specialty that combines science, psychology, and the complexity of human experience.

Today, I work as a Consultant Psychiatrist and Coach, supporting people with a wide range of mental health challenges, from common conditions such as burnout, anxiety and depression, as well as more complex presentations. Alongside recovery, I have a particular interest in helping people optimise performance, build resilience, and fulfil their potential.

Outside of work, when I can find the time, you’ll usually find me on a golf course. Golf has taught me as much about resilience, focus and managing pressure as any textbook, so it was a natural fit to combine my passion for the game with my professional work. I am proud to be the Lead Clinical Advisor to Florio Golf, an organisation dedicated to improving mental wellbeing and reducing stigma around mental health within the game.
