Psychiatrist (Specialist International Medical Graduate)
I follow a biopsychosocial approach that considers the interplay of biological, psychological and social factors to understand the clients’ history, their symptoms and contributing factors. Comprehensive assessments are conducted including history taking, integration of clients’ medical, psychological and sociodemographic characteristics, physical examination, laboratory tests and/or other examinations to establish diagnosis and develop a holistic treatment. I usually focus on pharmacological treatment with brief psychotherapeutic interventions, working together with a multidisciplinary team including psychologists, social workers and other health practitioners.
