Magdalena Galant-Miecznikowska
Chartered Psychologist & CBT Therapist in City of London, Croydon, Brockham, Banstead, Tunbridge Wells & Guildford
I am the clinical director of MGM Psychology Ltd. I am also an experienced Chartered Psychologist, HCPC registered Clinical, Counselling and Forensic Psychologist, and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I have many years’ experience assessing and treating different client groups with psychological difficulties, in the NHS and Non-profit organisations, both in the UK and overseas. I provide an evidence-based psychological treatment hence I use the most effective psychological interventions based upon the best scientific evidence available.
My Experience
I offer my psychological services to anyone who struggles through their life and are not sure of what is the solution. For many years I have been working with various cases of depression and anxiety disorders, self-esteem and family/relationship issues.
When working with clients I tend to be quite practical in my approach, often taking the work I do outside of the therapy room where we can make changes using the behavioural experiments.
