My Approach
Whole-person assessment
I take a comprehensive approach that considers both mental and physical health. This includes exploring symptoms alongside factors such as nutrition, sleep, metabolic health, hormones and lifestyle, to build a clear and balanced understanding of each individual.
KetoMind and metabolic psychiatry
My work in metabolic psychiatry focuses on how changes in energy metabolism and brain function can influence mental health. Through the KetoMind approach, I support patients in exploring structured, evidence-informed nutritional and lifestyle strategies, including ketogenic interventions where appropriate. This approach aims to support brain energy, mood stability and cognitive function, as part of a broader, personalised care plan.
Integrating science into clinical care
I draw on current research in neuroscience, metabolism and psychiatry to inform treatment recommendations. My aim is to translate complex scientific insights into clear, practical guidance that can be applied in everyday life.
Collaborative and supportive care
I aim to create a space where patients feel listened to and understood. Care is collaborative, with time to explore options, answer questions and develop a plan that feels manageable and aligned with each person’s needs.
