The tribunal chairman said his actions were not "easily remediable". | |
Dr Nigel Callaghan said Dr Osborne's behaviour "undermines the public's confidence in the medical profession". | |
'I will make sure you pay' | |
The psychiatrist had treated the woman for depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue at a private practice in London, between 2011 and 2014. | |
The tribunal heard Dr Osborne had begged, then threatened the woman after she complained to the General Medical Council (GMC) when he ended the relationship. | |
In one email he wrote: "If I get into trouble for this then I will never forgive you for this and I will make sure you pay." | |
Dr Callaghan said Dr Osborne had sent "inappropriate emails" when he knew the woman was in "a particularly vulnerable and fragile state". | |
The tribunal previously heard she had tried to take her own life two days after they broke up. | |
It will now decide whether to impose a sanction on the psychiatrist. | |
If they do, Dr Osborne could have conditions put on his registration, be suspended or be struck off. |
