Rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders are skyrocketing worldwide. Conditions such as bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, PMDD (a severe form of premenstrual tension), and increasing diagnoses of ADHD, autism (neurodivergence) and dementia highlight just how widespread the crisis has become.
 

Women are particularly vulnerable after childbirth. Studies show that 10–20% of mothers experience postnatal depression, while women with bipolar disorder face an additional risk of postpartum psychosis.
 

Sadly, the UK is facing a severe mental health crisis. The NHS lacks both the resources and funding to provide the level of care people desperately need. I’ce seen this firsthand — like many others, she has experienced the shortcomings of mental health support in the UK. 
 

However, I use Nutritional Psychiatry (balancing the mind with nutritional measures, nutrigenomics, supplementation, and lifestyle interventions), which is a growing field with an increasing evidence base and recognition. I also work with the functional medicine approach to poor brain health, cognitive decline, and neurological conditions. Both approaches focus on determining the underlying causes in order to promote recovery or stabilisation of health.
 

There is no shame in taking medication for mental health – in fact, it can often be life-saving. My programmes are always designed to work alongside medical prescriptions as part of an integrated healthcare plan. I am also able to collaborate with your GP, psychiatrist, or neurologist to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support.
