"I believe that mental health care should be accessible, compassionate, and tailored to the unique story of every individual."
With over 14 years of experience across India, the United States, and Australia, I have had the privilege of supporting people from all walks of life. My international journey has taught me that while mental health challenges are universal, the path to recovery is deeply personal. Currently serving as a Consultant Psychiatrist with Western Health and drawing on my background as a former lecturer at the University of Melbourne, I combine clinical expertise with a genuine passion for teaching and advocacy. My Approach to Care I specialize in supporting adults navigating severe mental illnesses. I understand that these journeys can be complex, and I am dedicated to being a steady partner in your care. My professional mission is centered on:
• Compassionate Support: Creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and respected.
• Improving Access: I am deeply committed to breaking down barriers so that high-quality psychiatric care is available to everyone who needs it.
• Evidence-Based Recovery: Using my global experience to provide treatments that are both scientifically sound and culturally sensitive. Whether we are working through a difficult diagnosis or managing long-term wellbeing, my goal is to help you reclaim a sense of balance and hope.
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.
