Dr Daniel Glazer, Child & Adolescent Clinical Psychologist in North London

About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist holding professional registration with the Health Care Professions Council and Chartered membership with the British Psychological Society. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at University College London.

I am one of the clinical leads in a leading NHS child, adolescent and young adult service at University College London Hospital. As part of this role, I specialise in working with young people and parents affected by a range of psychological difficulties within the context of medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes & chronic pain. I also work a great deal with the effects of traumatic experiences and I am passionate about supporting young people to help them get back on track in life.

Trainings & Approaches

As a clinical psychologist I am trained and work with a range of psychological approaches including

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - this includes aspects of mindfulness, compassion and Acceptance and commitment Therapy
• Narrative Therapy & strength based approaches
• Relational psychotherapies - this includes humanistic, existential and psychodynamic therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach and I readily focus on each individual’s unique journey, context and ideas.

I am influenced by a range of psychological therapies and feel this quote sums up my approach and belief about the therapeutic process: “I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each person because each has a unique story.” Irvin D. Yalom.

As a clinical psychologist I am also aware of the evidence base and its important that the work i do is helpful and effective.

What to expect

The first session is a chance to get to know you and find out what you are wanting from therapy. We will then agree to meet for a number of sessions and and at the end of these to have a review to see if the sessions are meeting your expectations and making a difference for you.

I am passionate about my work and welcome discussions in the first instance on what sort of support you might be looking for.
