I qualified from Manchester Medical School. I trained in Psychiatry in London at the Royal Free & UCL Hospitals. I undertook training posts in National Centres for Eating Disorders including at The Maudsley.

I have also spent time working in both Australia and the US in order to evaluate up-to-date international treatments available. My initial consultant post was in the NHS. In 2005 I took my consultant post at The Priory (the largest provider of independent mental health care in the UK).

In 2010, I was appointed the National Clinical Director for The Priory Eating Disorder Services. This involved responsibility for the oversight and clinical governance of 12 Eating Disorder Units across the country.

I was appointed Lead Consultant of the North West Priory Eating Disorder Service including inpatient, day treatment and outpatient settings.
