Dr Roberts is also interested in assessing and treating depression and anxiety disorders, with a specific focus on women's mental health.

She is a great advocate for involving family members or other carers where appropriate in a treatment plan.
She works in a holistic manner and will refer on for therapy including CBT, ACT, EMDR and psychotherapy.
Dr Roberts practises an evidence-based approach to treatment but will always listen to the request of the individual and advise on the latest treatment appropriate for any diagnosed condition. She has for example referred patients for TransMagneticStimulation (TMS) and ketamine treatments when indicated.
