As a consultant psychiatrist, the daughter of a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, and the sister …another consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist , you could say evidence-based medicine runs in the family.

we love to dance, celebrate and embrace all the good vibes.

but first, we’d quite like to see the data.

Follow and if you love peace, women’s health and peer-reviewed research.

As a consultant psychiatrist, I’ve spent years witnessing how much compassion we can hold for others, and how little we sometimes reserve for ourselves.

We are so willing to love another person in all their complexity, yet struggle to extend that same grace to our own.

Perhaps the work of a lifetime is not to become someone else, but to learn to love the person we already are.

Not only in the light, but in the shadows too.

These supplements have been a gamechanger for me.

I have been a little worried re supplements since reading Prof Tim Spector book (he raises good questions re where is this made/quality of them etc).

I have done a deep dive..and found

- they are supplements which have NO additives/fillers/stabilisers. Plus they offer a free consultation with nutritionist.

Now just need to book in a consultation for my kids..

Sometimes I wonder what my life would look like if I’d been Dad.

I’m a doctor, a mother of three, and I juggle a lot of the day-to-day running of our family.

I have a wonderfully supportive husband who is an incredible father, so this isn’t about him.

It’s about the emotional labour that so many women carry, often alongside demanding careers.

The remembering, planning, anticipating, organising. The hundred little things that nobody necessarily sees, but that keep family life moving.

And I know I’m incredibly fortunate. I love my work, I love being a mother, and I love the busy, chaotic life we’ve created.

But I do sometimes wonder whether I’d feel quite the same weight of responsibility if I were Dad.

I don’t want to do less of what I love. I want us to recognise more of what women do.

And perhaps the answer isn’t to become better at juggling everything, but to question why we feel we have to.

Here’s to raising daughters who know they can do anything, without growing up believing they have to do everything. ❤️

Follow for mind and body support through all the seasons.

I’m a third-generation doctor. I grew up watching my mother dedicate her life to medicine.

I remember watching her operate whilst becoming increasingly unwell herself. She had developed pyelonephritis but didn’t want to let her patients down.

And even after long days at work, she would come home and cook for us, making sure everyone else was looked after.

I have enormous admiration for her. But I also recognise how easily we can learn that caring for others means putting ourselves last.

After 16 years in psychiatry, I believe we need to challenge that narrative.

You can be deeply committed to your patients and equally committed to your own wellbeing.

Both things can be true.

Doctor to doctor, show up for yourself the way you show up for others.

You are a doctor. You are human too. ❤️

I’m a consultant psychiatrist, and I’ve also lived with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) since my late teens.

So when the days get shorter and the light begins to disappear, I don’t just understand the science behind SAD. I know what it feels like.

Every year, I notice how the changing seasons can affect my mood, energy and motivation. And even after all these years, the transition into autumn and winter can be challenging.

SAD isn’t simply feeling a little gloomy because summer is over. It’s a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, most commonly appearing during autumn and winter.

Interestingly, SAD is more commonly diagnosed in women than men. And emerging research suggests there may also be a relationship between ADHD and seasonal changes in mood.

We know that reduced daylight can disrupt our circadian rhythms and affect biological processes involved in sleep, energy and mood.

But here’s what I want people to know: SAD is treatable.

Light therapy, psychological therapies and medication can all help, depending on the individual.

For me, understanding the science hasn’t made me immune to the experience. But it has helped me recognise the patterns and approach the darker months with more awareness and compassion.

If you notice your mood changing as the seasons shift, pay attention to it. You don’t have to wait until you’re really struggling to seek support.
