My qualifications in psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, alongside research methods and public health, provides a wide perspective in supporting the inevitable mental health distress all individuals experience throughout life. I also have expertise in managing the more complex long-term emotional difficulties suffered by some, requiring increased medical input.

A robust first assessment is ideally best suited to a 30 - 60 minute consultation to fully understand the history. Mental health can often have a two-way relationship with other co-existing medical problems, which themselves require attention to be diagnosed and addressed. As a general physician, I can manage both emotional and physical health needs concurrently.

Using several whole-person diagnostic tools, I aim to provide an understanding of what emotional symptoms may represent, then share the full range of management approaches. Medications can play a role, although I am cognisant of the risk of inadvertently over-medicalising a situation, without added benefit, whilst failing to address other unmet needs. I aim to share the researched potential benefits and risks of all approaches, to enable people to make informed personal choices, tailored to their individual values.

Having spent much of the pandemic working in an acute Covid-19 unit, along with many years of experience in several urgent care settings, as well as previously being a regional urgent care clinical lead and accident and emergency operational board chair, I understand the complexities of urgent medical needs. These might include:
| Respiratory tract infections, including ear, nose, throat problems |
| Urinary tract infections or stones | Skin and soft tissue infections |
| New headaches or neurological difficulties such as vertigo |
| Gastrointestinal difficulties | Acute abdominal and pelvic pain |
| Sexual health problems & more |

My experience also includes working as a senior clinician decision-maker for a regional rapid-response mobile home-visiting service, managing complex cases at home to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions.

I also have availability outside of working hours and believe in continuity-of-care with a familiar physician.

Various forms of blood testing and imaging are often offered to otherwise well individuals as 'health checks'. However, many of these play into our anxieties, without evidence of benefit. As with any medical intervention, all tests have risks, from radiation, unintended consequences of unnecessary worry from false-positives, to financial and insurance implications from irrelevant incidental findings.

'NOVO DIAGNOSTIKAS'
Instead, I outline the evidenced risks and benefits of any diagnostic you’re interested in and offer a unique whole-person health assessment, combining both a bio-medical but also psycho-social evaluation, to provide a research-based analysis of your future risks, as well as identifying areas to develop in order to improve your quality of life and sense of chronic wellness.
