I am a consultant psychiatrist with over 12 years of experience in mental health, specialising in child, adolescent, psychiatry. My journey began in India, where I completed my postgraduate training in Psychiatry at the prestigious Christian Medical College, Vellore.I worked there as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for three years, honing my clinical skills and deepening my commitment to early intervention and family-centered care. Following this, I moved to the UK to pursue further training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry . Since then, I have moved to Australia, where I have been working for almost four years as a consultant psychiatrist with the Infant, Child, and Youth Mental Health team at Grampians Health. My clinical interests include early childhood mental health, neurodevelopmental conditions, behavioral disorders, mood, anxiety and psychotic disorders.In my work, I value listening deeply, understanding the unique psychosocial and cultural background of each family, and working together to create meaningful change. I am particularly passionate about making mental health care accessible, collaborative, and compassionate,supporting children, young people, and their families through every stage of their journey. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing and a bit of window shopping, simple joys that help me stay grounded and connected.I am available for consultations through this platform , and I look forward to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and their families.
For choosing one of Telecare's paediatricians who specialise in development and behavioural assessments for your child. We want to make sure you understand what to expect during the assessment process.
1 Multi-Step Procedure: The assessment is a detailed process with several steps. It might take multiple appointments to fully evaluate your child's condition.
2 Review of Notes and Results: With consent from the parents/carers, our paediatricians will carefully review various notes and investigation results, like medical records, previous assessments, and relevant tests. This helps them understand your child's medical, developmental, and behavioural history. If you have any reports that may be relevant, please send them through before the appointment.
3 Collaboration with Others: To make an accurate diagnosis, our paediatricians work with other healthcare professionals, educators, and caregivers involved in your child's care. This collaboration provides a better understanding of your child's unique situation.
Please remember that a thorough assessment may take time and careful consideration. We appreciate your patience as we work towards the best outcome for your child. We aim to provide the best care and accurate diagnoses for your child's needs. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is here to support you.
Thank you for choosing Telecare for your child's development and behavioural assessment. We look forward to working with you and providing the care your child needs.
