CONSULTANT FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST

I specialize in delivering comprehensive medicolegal reports with the aim of assisting your clients, who have mental health problems, in legal proceedings and insurance claims.

I understand that the interaction between the law and mental health can be complex and challenging, and hence I am dedicated to providing support and guidance throughout the process of conducting meticulous assessments, analysing complex legal issues in context of mental health problems, and making precise recommendations to the courts grounded on the best available evidence.

I have competent expertise in the assessment and management of mental illness, personality disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, alcohol and substance misuse disorders and other mental health problems in patients in a diverse range of settings.

In addition to my specialist training in Forensic Psychiatry and wide-ranging clinical experience, I keep myself up to date with the developments in the mental health law to ensure that my assessments and reports are of the highest quality. I am dedicated to providing impartial and objective opinions by conducting in depth assessments, offering credible expert testimony in court, and recommending treatment and rehabilitation options for individuals involved in legal proceedings who are also suffering from mental health problems.
