I am a Consultant Psychiatrist with over a decade of experience, having practised as a Consultant since 2012 across both the UK and India. My specialist training is in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and I provide care for young people up to the age of 25.

I completed my postgraduate medical training at King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, followed by advanced specialist training at the South London and Maudsley (SLAM) NHS Foundation Trust, one of the world’s leading centres for psychiatric training. During my time at SLAM, I obtained my MRCPsych and CCT in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, gaining extensive experience across highly regarded clinical settings including the Maudsley Hospital, Bethlem Royal Hospital, and St Thomas’ Hospital.

My training also included work in national specialist outpatient services at the Michael Rutter Centre, where I developed a strong interest in the assessment and management of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). These remain my core areas of clinical expertise.

In addition to my clinical roles, I have previously worked as a Professor of Psychiatry, which has provided me with valuable experience in both academic and clinical practice.

I have extensive Consultant-level experience in both the UK and India, with a broad interest across all areas of psychiatry but especially neurodevelopmental disordes. My work is grounded in a biopsychosocial approach, and I use a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), family therapy, and parent training, tailoring care to the individual needs of each patient and family.

I continue to actively engage in academic work through teaching and training, particularly in the assessment and management of ADHD and Autism. I also hold an honorary faculty position at the Centre for Behaviour and Cognitive Sciences, an Indian centre of excellence in brain research.

Outside of my professional work, I am a passionate endurance athlete. I have completed multiple marathons, ultramarathons, and long-distance cycling events. These experiences reinforce my belief in the powerful role of physical activity in improving mental health and wellbeing. I also use this platform to advocate for environmentally responsible practices, including reducing our carbon footprint.
