I was born in Northern Ireland and trained as a medical doctor in Aberdeen, Scotland. I completed my specialist training in psychiatry in Nottingham, England before working as a consultant psychiatrist since 2011.
I trained as a medical doctor before training as a consultant psychiatrist. I have had 20 years experience working with myriad mental health experiences, including psychosis, mood difficulties, anxiety, eating difficulties, addictions and physical health manifestations. I have completed the year long certificate in Compassionate Inquiry under the teaching and mentorship of Dr Gabor Maté. This was a truly life changing experience for me.
