Dr Varela
Consultant Psychiatrist
I am a Consultant Psychiatrist with over 17 years of experience in Argentina, Spain, and the UK, including 8 years as a Consultant Psychiatrist with the NHS.
I earned my medical degree from Universidad del Salvador in 2006 and completed my specialist training in psychiatry through the Argentine Association of Psychiatrists (APSA).
My advanced education includes a postgraduate course in neurosciences from the Neuroscience Institute of Buenos Aires, a fellowship in dual diagnosis at Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona, and specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodivergent patients, particularly those with ADHD, since 2019 through the UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN).
In the UK, I am an Approved Clinician with Section 12(2) status under the Mental Health Act and hold a Civil & Family Expert Witness Certificate from Cardiff University & Bond Solon, supporting my medico-legal work in expert psychiatric assessments and reports.
I am actively registered with the GMC and the Official College of Physicians of Barcelona. Additionally, I am an affiliate of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and a member of the Spanish Society of Dual Pathology and the World Association on Dual Disorders.
