As a specialist psyciatry practice,
we offer all recognised services surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. These include major depression, bipolar mood disorder, anxiety disorders (panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder) and psychotic disorders.
We also diagnose and treat developmental disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and neuropsychiatric disorders, such as dementia.
I have a special interest in Borderline Personality Disorder. Often highly misunderstood and stigmatised, Borderline Personality Disorder is indeed treatable with techniques such as Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT).
No two diagnoses are alike and neither are their treatments. I work with a range of specialists and plan treatment programmes that might include in-hospital treatment, medication (or the adjustment of existing medication), referral to other therapists, and psychotherapy.

I refer patients for admission to Life Glynnview Hospital (Benoni). I collaborate with their multi-disciplinary team, as well as diverse professionals who are located elsewhere in the country (and overseas).
Liaison psychiatry is the interface between general medicine and psychiatry. A psychiatrist is called upon to visit a patient in hospital at the request of a physician or surgeon. This effective partnership between psychiatry and general medicine helps patients get well sooner, reducing their stay in hospital and preventing relapse and/or readmission.
