Experience

Dr Roberts works with skilled therapists and nursing teams to provide excellent evidence based care. He works as prime carer in supporting and advocating a collaborative and informed choice and treatment plans for patients. He works in partnership with people or organisations that the patient consents to and always has a strong focus on recovery. Dr Roberts' special interest in occupational psychiatry also helps him to communicate effectively with employers and to support patients towards returning to work if that is what they wish.

Dr Roberts works separately within occupational health providing independent psychiatric opinions for employers with employees consent but in line with the independent opinion required. He does not provide prime care for these patients. He helps employers by helping their employees return to work and provide sustained effective employment. He also offers training and support to companies in the area of mental health to promote a healthy work place.

Training

Dr Roberts trained as a doctor at The Royal London Hospital and St Bartholomews Hospital in Whitechapel, London also completing an intercalated degree in experimental pathology. He then spent 18 months working in the East End of London before moving to Hampshire where he specialised as a psychiatrist gaining full membership of the Royal College Of Psychiatrists and accreditation with the GMC as a consultant specialist in adult and old age psychiatry. During his training he gained a Diploma in Occupational Medicine reinforcing his views of the importance of a recovery focus. Dr Roberts chose to work predominantly with psychiatry of working age adults.

Whilst completing his training in Wessex Dr Roberts gained experience within adult psychiatry, old age psychiatry, learning disability and forensic psychiatry settings. Dr Roberts has a special interest in occupational psychiatry.

Dr Roberts is a recognised provider for all major health insurance companies including Bupa, AXA PPP, Cigna and Simply Health.

Private treatment

Mental health problems and psychiatric illnesses are common problems with 1 in 4 adults at one point in their life, but symptoms often go unrecognised by the patient or their loved ones or colleagues. Problems with mood, burn out, irritability, concentration, attention, flash backs, drinking, drug taking, libido and sex drive changes, anxiety, or panic can all be related. Psychosis in which reality and unreality blur can occur at times. This may include experiencing the sound of voices, or other perceptions that are not seen/heard or sensed by others. Assessment, diagnosis, and effective treatment can now be easily sought. Treatments such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, CBT, psychological therapies, alcohol or substance misuse or dependence, and detox programmes can all seem like a minefield. Dr Roberts can help navigate the recovery journey through these ensuring that you receive only the best and most effective treatments, individually tailored for you. 

The initial fee for a consultation with Dr Roberts is £350, with short follow up consultations £150. For more information, contact Dr Roberts directly.

Dr Roberts has a special research interest in occupational psychiatry.
