Dr Kanchan Thadani Rupchand

Dr Kanchan Thadani Rupchand is a Consultant Psychiatrist (FRANZCP) with more than ten years of experience in medicine and psychiatry, including published research in peer-reviewed psychiatric journals. She provides person-centred, holistic, and evidence-based care for women, with particular interests in perinatal mental health, ADHD, trauma and psychotherapy:

• Adult ADHD assessment and treatment: Dr Kanchan provides full diagnostic assessment and ongoing medication management for women who suspect ADHD, including for women diagnosed late in life.

• Perinatal and women's mental health: Care through pregnancy, the postnatal period, and the years that follow, including depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and the mental health impacts of hormonal transition.

• Trauma, mood, and anxiety: Depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders, with a psychotherapeutic approach alongside medication where that is what suits you.

Dr Kanchan also speaks Hindi and Malay and welcomes women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including women who would prefer to discuss their mental health in their first language.

Her style is unhurried and warm. She works collaboratively rather than prescriptively, coordinates closely with hospital teams, carers, families, and other treating clinicians to support continuity of care.
