Dr Giles completed his MBChB at the University of Cape Town. He went on to complete two years of internship in Pietermaritzburg, followed by a year of community service across Cape Town's clinics and emergency centres.
He then spent three years as a medical officer in emergency medicine, during which he completed his Diploma in Primary Emergency Care (DipPEC). It was during this period that his focus shifted toward psychiatry, a field he describes as his true calling.
He went on to spend three years as a medical officer in psychiatry at Valkenberg Hospital. He then completed his registrarship in psychiatry at the University of Cape Town from 2022 to January 2026, before qualifying as a specialist. This grounding in general and emergency medicine, ahead of specialising in psychiatry, gives Dr Giles a broad clinical perspective that continues to shape how he assesses and treats his patients today.
Dr Giles is now a specialist psychiatrist in private practice. He has admitting rights to Akeso Hospitals and Crescent Clinic if a period of inpatient treatment is needed.
