Liaison and Neuropsychiatry. He has specialist expertise in managing complex and long-

term health conditions. He is the co-founder and Medical Director of The London Psychiatry

Dr Lanka is motivated by personal experience to provide timely and compassionate help and

support to his patients as well as their loved ones. His approach integrates psychological

understands the importance of understanding each individual's unique circumstances, taking

into account their preferences and the suitability of various treatment approaches. He

believes that difficulties emerge due to a complex combination of factors including genetics,

psychological tendencies, and from changes in social, environmental and emotional support

networks. He uses bespoke treatment approaches that work for each person, using a

combination of psychological, functional and medical protocols.

and criminal courts, mental health review tribunals and the Court of Protection.
