I have a holistic, biological and cognitive-behavioural approach to Mental Health. This means I see mental health problems emerging from a combination of factors including biology, genetics, upbringing, psychological tendencies and our environment.
I believe in promoting a healthy style of living and providing psycho-education as a way to help my patients understand and be better able to deal with their psychological, emotional or mental health problems.
I have extensive experience in using medication to treat mental health problems.
However, in most cases I also explore other options, including psycho-education, talking therapy or lifestyle changes (among others) before considering starting a new medication.
I endeavour to empower my patients to be part of the decision-making process regarding the best medication and treatment plan, by discussing the various options including any potential side effects of the medication.
I finished my Medical studies (LMS or MD) to become a Medical Doctor in Spain in 2001. I then completed my training in psychiatry (CCT equivalent) at Bellvitge Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, in 2006.
I completed a Master’s degree (MSc) in Affective Neuroscience at Maastricht University (Netherlands), specialising in Anxiety, Depression and related disorders, and another Master’s degree in Research Methodology in Health Sciences at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2007.
I completed my PhD thesis at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, in 2010.
I have published over 30 scientific articles (including book chapters) in international peer-reviewed scientific publications. I have been an Associate Editor of the Spanish Journal of Psychology, edited by Cambridge University Press as well as an independent reviewer for a range of scientific journals including Archives of General Psychiatry. I have been the Research & Development Lead for Cambian Healthcare from 2013 to 2016.
The General Medical Council (GMC) is the organisation that sets the standards that doctors need to follow in the UK.
