About me
Extensive psychiatric experience of more than 20 years across India, Australia and UK. I've worked across various roles and organizations including government, non-governmental organizations, social enterprise and private institutes. My interest in teaching and training high school, undergraduate and postgraduate students in medicine and psychiatry have helped me keep my knowledge updated. I've developed recent portfolio of experience in working with migrants, asylum seekers and refugees and gained good insights into their mental health experiences. I've received training and now working with medico-legal cases involving civil, family, and employment related matters to provide Expert Psychiatric Witness Assessments and Reports. My I'm a member of Expert Witness Institute (EWI) and National Expert Witness Agency (NEWA).
